The Scarborough-Malvern LRT (SMLRT) alignment has been developed to provide continuity to the network, link/grow communities, develop ridership, connect the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus and Centennial College Ellesmere Campus, and serve the future needs of the area. Extending the SMLRT further east on Kingston Road and up Meadowvale Road would bypass the above key destinations, and would cost significantly more than the current alignment because of its longer length.
