Chinatown Station
The new Chinatown Station, located at Queen Street and Spadina Avenue, will connect to more than 40,000 jobs in the area and put more than 22,000 people closer to the subway. With entrances located on the north and south sides of the intersection, it will relieve crowding on the popular 501 Queen and 510 Spadina streetcar routes.
Infrastructure Ontario has also proposed a new transit-oriented community for this site, which will bring a vibrant, mixed-use community to the area that will put more housing, jobs and retail space for businesses within easy reach of transit.
