The federal Liberal government makes a new promise to make billions of dollars worth of new spending.
The federal election is only 2 months away.
On Monday, the pledge from the Minister for infrastructure was $585 million in funding for 6 new stations to be included in Mayor John Tory's Smart Track transit plan.
Another package of $500 million in funding would pay for improvements to the Bloor-Yonge subway station.
Mayor Tory says he doesn't see any reason why the start of construction on Smart Track would be later than next year.
Renovations to Bloor-Yonge are expected to start in 2023 and will take about 5 years to complete.
