WHO ARE WE?
The Reimagining the SRT Coalition is a growing group of Scarborough community organizations and local leaders working to turn the existing SRT corridor into a long term community asset. Rather than demolition, which was once estimated at a cost of 180 million dollars, the Coalition is exploring repurposing options to advance a community centered vision that can serve Scarborough for generations.Â
A COALITION FOR SCARBOROUGH
In November 2025, Scarborough community leaders, organizations and grassroots groups came together to establish the Reimagining the Scarborough RT coalition.
Â
Through the support from the Institute for Inclusive Economies and Sustainable Livelihoods at the University of Toronto Scarborough, members of the Community Advisory Committee have been working on the establishment of this coalition with support and guidance from the Mentors Committee.
