  Victoria Park Station
Land Use Planning Study
   
Study Area - Click for PDF The City of Toronto is conducting a land use study of the TTC Victoria Park subway station lands and its surroundings. The study includes a community services and facilities review, and is considering public infrastructure issues and opportunities in the study area, in addition to the redevelopment potential of the subway station lands. The City is now proceeding with the completion of the final phase (Phase 3) of the Victoria Park Station Land Use Planning Study.

In December 2006, the Toronto Transit Commission approved the design and construction of a perimeter bus terminal to replace its existing terminal at the Victoria Park Station. The new amenities will include passenger pick-up and drop-off and commuter parking facilities. Buses will continue to enter the terminal from Denton Avenue however provisions are being made for the buses to exit directly onto Victoria Park Avenue. The construction of the replacement bus terminal will free up land at the station for redevelopment.

In addition to the station lands, the study is considering streetscape and walkway design and connectivity issues in conjunction with the redevelopment of the station and station lands.
