From the CBC to City Hall: Watch Marivel Taruc tackle Toronto's PATH system
Toronto's PATH system set to get new signs by 2018
Whether you're a Toronto native or from out of town, getting lost in the underground PATH happens to the best of us.
But help is on the way — or new signs are, at least.
The Toronto Financial District BIA announced Tuesday it will install new mapping and wayfinding signs in a part of the PATH as a pilot project this summer.
It will focus on getting people to major landmarks like Yonge-Dundas Square and Union Station by moving through the 1,100 shops and restaurants that make up the underground network.
So CBC's Our Toronto host Marivel Taruc tackled the PATH system Tuesday to see how tough it might be.
Her mission? To travel from the Canadian Broadcasting Centre at Front Street West and John Street -- the most westerly point of the PATH -- to city hall.
Even regular users know that it can take time to get your bearings below ground, moving through the 75 properties in the city's downtown core. Roughly 200,000 people use the network each workday.
The pilot project for the new signs will launch this summer. The rest of the signs are expected to be in place by 2018.
