The Waterfront West LRT was a proposed light rail line in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was part of the Transit City proposal announced on March 16, 2007, to be operated by the Toronto Transit Commission. As the shortest and least expensive Transit City line, it was expected to cost approximately $540 million. The line was to open in four stages and be completed by 2015 as the third of the seven Transit City lines after the Sheppard East LRT and Etobicoke-Finch West LRT lines.
Mayor Rob Ford announced cancellation of the line after taking office in December 2010, however this decision was never brought to City Council for approval and the line's status remains in question. Funding has not been secured for this project, suggesting a delay of several years, or cancellation. In January 2013, the project was cancelled by Toronto city officials.
