bridge over the Rouge River, in the northeast of Malvern. Public transit Malvern is served by several Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) bus routes (39 Finch East, 85 Sheppard East, 102 Markham Rd, 116 Morningside, 131 Nugget, 132 Milner, 133 Neilson, 134 Progress, 902 Markham Rd Express, 939C Finch Express, and 985B Sheppard East Express). In the 1980s, there was a plan to bring rapid transit to Malvern by extending the Scarborough line, but lack of government funding prevented any extension of the line. In August 2006, city councillors representing Scarborough rallied for the expansion of the Scarborough line, or its possible light rail replacement, to the Malvern community. Scarborough line extension to Malvern Back in 2012, the TTC considered carrying assessing extending the RT from McCowan to Malvern Town Centre. They have also made a motion that the current study should include the addition of a station where the existing line crosses Brimley Road. The proposal is moot now as Line 3 Scarborough RT is scheduled to be torn down and replaced by the extension of Line 2 Bloor–Danforth. In 2006, a study was completed on the prospects of this line. It recommended upgrading the line to handle larger ART Mark II vehicles, at a cost of $360 million (2006 dollars). Extending the Bloor–Danforth line (either along the current Scarborough RT route, or along a different alignment directly to Scarborough Centre) was not considered cost-effective or justifiable. On June 15, 2007, the Ontario government had released MoveOntario 2020, a plan that would fund 52 different transit projects throughout Toronto and Hamilton for the cost of $17.5 billion, including the Scarborough RT extension to Sheppard Avenue, which would meet the proposed Sheppard East LRT line, also to be funded by MoveOntario 2020. Unfortunately, in a 2010 budget release, Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty had chosen to postpone necessary funding for the project. With the construction of Line 5 Eglinton nearing its end, there have been discussions and studies about either extending this LRT line or constructing a brand new LRT line to Malvern via University of Toronto Scarborough Campus. , the estimated cost of this project is $3.9billion with an expected opening in the early to mid-2030s. A ten-percent design and a revised cost estimate are expected in the third quarter of 2023.
