East Harbour – Transit-Oriented Community

Infrastructure Ontario (IO), with the Ministry of Infrastructure is leading the "transit-oriented communities program as it relates to the "New Subway Transit Plan for the GTA,” part of the government’s smart, forward-thinking plan to build new, sustainable transit. The TOC approach provides real opportunity to build vibrant, higher density, mixed-use communities that are connected to transit stations.

The East Harbour Transit Hub will support local transit needs in a new community, as well as, regional connectivity, including incorporating the GO Train (Lakeshore East and the Markham/Stouffville line), SmartTrack services, future TTC light rail transit (linking the Queens Quay LRT with Broadview Avenue) and the Ontario Line subway. The site will represent a complete community and with a diverse range of commercial space, residential space, retail, food, cultural uses and outdoor space. 

IO, on behalf of the Province, is currently working with the City and Cadillac Fairview, as the landowner and developer of the site, on the future plans. Community input is a key component of the development and began in Summer 2021.
