The latest developments on the $5.6-billion Yonge North Subway Extension don’t exactly line up with the overall vision put forward by York Region officials and may garner pushback from some Thornhill residents.

In an effort to contain costs of the subway, the Ontario government is eliminating some proposed stations and building a portion of it above ground, according to a report released March 18 by Metrolinx.

Previous versions of the plan had the line travelling beneath Yonge Street and included up to six stations, but the revised business case calls for an eight-kilometre version that would have four stations and also emerge north of Langstaff Road, running above ground parallel to the existing Richmond Hill GO corridor.
