Distillery District Station
The Ontario Line Distillery District Station will put people steps away from the unique Distillery District, while also serving the growing Corktown community. An estimated 4,100 people are expected to use Distillery District Station during the busiest travel hour.
A new subway station here will connect to popular surface routes such as the 504 King Streetcar, 65 Parliament bus and 172 Cherry Street bus.
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, retail and community spaces, such as a library, within easy reach of transit, while commemorating the history of the First Parliament site.
