Queen-Spadina – Transit-Oriented Community

Closed

Infrastructure Ontario (IO), with the Ministry of Infrastructure is leading the Transit-Oriented Communities Program as it relates to the “New Subway Transit Plan for the GTA,” part of the government’s smart, forward-thinking plan to build new, sustainable transit. The Transit-Oriented Communities (TOC) approach provides real opportunity to build vibrant, higher density, mixed-use communities that are connected to transit stations. IO, on behalf of the Province, is currently working with the City of Toronto on the future plans to build transit and a TOC at the future Queen-Spadina Station.  The Queen-Spadina site consists of two sites, both of which have been designated for TOC use.  The sites will be developed by the Province in line with the stated objectives of the TOC program.The future growth potential for the Queen-Spadina Station site is dependent on a planned transit station that will serve the surrounding neighbourhood with connections to streetcar and subway service along the Ontario Line. The proposed Queen-Spadina Station site will add more housing and retail space for businesses. Community input is a key component of TOC and took place in Fall 2021, following the City’s Planning review.
