TORONTO – Ground has been broken on three future Ontario Line<\/a> stations: King-Bathurst, Queen-Spadina and Moss Park.<\/p>\n

The Government of Ontario made the announcement recently, marking another milestone in the province\u2019s plan to build the line. Once complete, the 15.6-kilometre Ontario Line will have 15 stations, running from Exhibition Place through the downtown core and connecting to the Eglinton Crosstown LRT.<\/p>\n

Construction at the three sites includes work to remove soil and bedrock to create 30- to 40-metre-deep stations with elevators and escalators that will ultimately connect the subways to the street, indicates a release.<\/p>\n

The work will also prepare for future tunnel boring machines to create the tunnels that will connect all the underground stations through the downtown segment of the Ontario Line.<\/p>\n

The King-Bathurst Station is expected to serve over 5,000 commuters during the morning rush hour and create connections between the Ontario Line and popular streetcar routes like 504 King and 511 Bathurst. The Queen-Spadina and Moss Park stations are expected to serve over 7,000 commuters each and facilitate over 5,000 transfers during the morning rush hour. The Ontario Line project will help reduce crowding on Line 1 (Yonge-University) by 15 per cent and at Union Station by 14 per cent.<\/p>\n

“Starting excavation means we are making significant strides in bringing the Ontario Line to life and giving people more ways to take transit,\u201d said Phil Verster, president and CEO of Metrolinx, in a statement. \u201cThese three stations alone will put subway service within walking distance for more than 70,000 downtown residents.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
