The Don Mills LRT line would run for 17.6km, estimated to account for 21.2 million trips in 2021. The northern terminus of the line would be built at Steeles Avenue in North York. The line would run along Don Mills Road, through the Don Valley via Overlea Boulevard and Millwood Road and continue south on Pape Avenue until terminating at Pape Station on the Bloor-Danforth line in East York. After the line is built, a future extension north into York Region may be considered. Southward extension towards Toronto Union Station in a tunnel has also been discussed.
