In a statement posted to Metrolinx’s website, Verster said the agency had made the change after hearing from residents who feared the subway would be a “a disruption to the community.” Its tunnels will also be built deeper to lessen the impact on the community above. Metrolinx CEO Phil Verster announced Wednesday the agency is altering the design of the Yonge North Subway Extension so that it will pass under fewer homes in the Royal Orchard area of Thornhill. The provincial transit agency says it’s adjusting the route of a new subway project after residents in York Region pushed back against plans to tunnel the line beneath their neighbourhood - but some locals say the changes don’t go far enough.
