Future Osgoode Station entrance/George Gretes photo Metrolinx says this building will be carefully dismantled, with materials safely stored away until they are ready to be reassembled as part of the new station development. The provincial transit agency says special care will be taken to preserve the unique historic character on display at Queen and University, including the heritage building at 205 Queen Street West that currently houses a CIBC bank. Metrolinx proposes two new exit/entrance structures for the Ontario Line station - one each on the southwest corner of Queen Street West and Simcoe Street and the northeast corner of Queen and University. The entrances will be positioned to make it easy for customers coming from the subway to get to a streetcar stop without crossing this wide and busy intersection. New station entrances will be added at the northeast and near the and southwest corners of the intersection to accommodate an increasing number of subway riders. Metrolinx says growth patterns suggest that, by 2041, as many as 16,500 residents and 110,500 jobs will be within a 10-minute walk of the station. Metrolinx says roughly 12,000 people will go through the station each day during the busiest travel hour. The new Ontario Line station under the Line 1 TTC platform at Osgoode will make for easy transfers between the two and the 501 Queen streetcar.

Of the four new stations, two will connect with TTC’s Line 1 subway at University Avenue and Yonge Street, while two others will bring subway service to Moss Park and Corktown. Metrolinx says they’ve been designed to offer riders easy connections to existing stations along TTC routes in these neighbourhoods. The latest stations to be announced include Osgoode, Queen, Moss Park, and Corktown. Now, the provincial transit agency has unveiled plans for the next four stations on the line through downtown Toronto. Just last week, Metrolinx revealed the locations for station buildings from Exhibition Station to Queen and Spadina. Development plans for the province’s ambitious Ontario Line are progressing.
