The once planned Downtown Relief Line would have built another station below Pape to connect to the Bloor-Danforth line and to serve as the northern terminus at Phase One. The station would have likely been renamed Pape-Danforth.
[edit] Transit City proposal
The Transit City proposal calls for a new LRT line known as the Don Mills LRT line, running along Don Mills Road from Steeles Avenue to Pape Station.
