Phase one and two of a three-phase pedestrian safety improvement project is happening on the Front Street sidewalk in front of Union Station beginning on Tuesday, November 26, 2024 through Spring 2025. No live traffic lanes will be affected. The taxi stand will move just down the street towards Bay Street.
Union Station is Canada’s busiest, multi-modal passenger transportation hub, a designated national historic site and a significant part of Toronto’s history and identity. More than a quarter-million people use Union Station daily. The City led Union Station’s revitalization with three objectives: to improve the quality and capacity of pedestrian movement, to restore heritage elements and to transform the Station into a major destination for shopping, dining and visiting.
