UNION STATION
DISTRICT PLAN

Union Station is a regional transportation hub, with connections to the city’s financial, entertainment and administrative districts. It stands at the centre of a city-wide cultural corridor, and has been a place of leave-taking and reunion for generations of Canadians.

The Union Station District Plan offers a strategy for preserving the architecture of the station and surrounding area, enhancing the public realm, and improving traffic/pedestrian flow in, out and around the downtown core.

Creation of a Heritage Conservation District will promote the preservation of the district’s significant buildings. An improved public realm, with enhanced connections and wayfinding, will shift the emphasis to the pedestrian experience.

On the north side of the station, Front Street will be recreated as an inspiring public space. On the south, the new Union Plaza will connect the station to the waterfront, and provide a new meeting place for Torontonians and visitors alike.
