Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Work stoppages have put the four-mile Yonge St. subway extension from Eglinton to Sheppard Ave. behind schedule; TTC information officer Norman Funk says; but the work should be finished on schedule around the end of 1971. Strikes have stalled this section at York Mills Rd. and Yonge several times. Metro is seeking Ontario's approval for a further extension to Finch Ave.
