Toronto Ontario Line: Distillery District Station | 7m | 1s | Metrolinx | HDR

How deep is this station compared to the financial district stations?

 

[innsertnamehere]

Much deeper. Financial District subway platforms are probably 8-9 metres down at most, this is closer to 30 from my understanding.

It’s kind of cool seeing that you’re traveling on a bridge if you drive that portion of Front street, but you’d never know it from street level.

Front Street definitely qualifies as a bridge now:

Update from this weekend:

 

[UtakataNoAnnex]

As an artist friend once said to me that when comes to infrastructure and the engineer to make it work sometimes leads to extreme and weird architecture, mostly in good ways.This is proving to be different here...

What are they building here? SW corner of Front and Parliament. Almost in the NE corner of the property.

Where did you get that idea?

I guess from Metrolinx! Odd way for them to announce this change!

Suddenly hit all local groups on Facebook this afternoon. They renamed a handful of stations. Spadina is going to be Chinatown, Bathurst=King West

^I suppose they are going for names of subway stations that aren't already taken for those.

I must say I think that making 'official announcements' on private services like Facebook, X or, god forbid, TruthSocial is not a good trend.
