The agency released a report last week explaining the need for a different approach to the housing supply shortage at a time of rising demand and affordability concerns.

A two-kilometre stretch of rail corridor will bring the planned Ontario Line into close proximity with a GO Transit line. Metrolinx is inviting designers to make the resulting corridor more aesthetically pleasing.

The premier says that supply is one of the main reasons for the crisis in housing and he wants to focus on finding vacant or surplus government property.

Across the country, unemployment rates are at or near all-time lows, job vacancy rates are among the highest they have ever been, and employment continues to grow.

Work on the project is part of a broader portfolio of projects at the site that will see as much as $14 million invested to improve visitor experiences.
