Etobicoke Greenway Project

Energizing life by building safer and more resilient communities

To meet the growing demand for electricity in west and central Toronto, Hydro One has rebuilt a non-energized 115-kilovolt (kV) transmission line into an energized 230-kV line. This 6.5 km line is located on the east side of an existing hydro corridor that extends between Richview and Manby Transformer Stations in Etobicoke.

Hydro One is committed to formalizing a path through parts of the corridor by investing in a paved trail to be enjoyed by the community.

Building safer and more resilient communities

Etobicoke Greenway Trail

As part of the Etobicoke Greenway Power Line project, Hydro One is investing in a paved trail to formalize a path used by the community through parts of the corridor. We have developed a trail design that balances community input with municipal standards and Hydro One’s technical and safety considerations.

Once complete, the approximately 4 km paved trail between Longbourne Drive and Bloor Street West will create an enhanced recreational asset for the community to enjoy.

Trail maps

The updated trail mapping below shows the design refinements made to the Etobicoke Greenway Trail since the design was shared in August 2026.

As the project has advanced toward construction, additional site-specific information obtained through grading surveys, contractor onboarding, and final City approvals identified the need for refinements to portions of the original trail alignment.

While localized sections of the trail have been repositioned within the Hydro One corridor, the trail's overall function, key connections, and intended user experience remain unchanged.

These necessary refinements ensure the trail better achieves the community informed intent of the original design, while providing a durable, accessible and sustainable connection for years to come.

Building a stronger grid for Ontario's future

Transmission project

To ensure energy is available when and where it's needed today and in the future, Hydro One rebuilt an existing non-energized 115 kilovolt (kV) transmission line into a 230 kV line between Richview and Manby Transmission Stations. The construction of this line was completed in 2025.

The line is in service and the energization of the second phase of the line was completed in late March 2026.

Guided by standards

Transmission line planning process

To build this new transmission line Hydro One completed the Class Environmental Assessment for Minor Transmission Facilities (2022) in accordance with the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. This is an important part of the planning process to assess potential natural, economic, social and cultural effects and determine measures to avoid or minimize impacts.
