Agree. “The Well” type of a project could be interesting here

I'd love a transit hub that had a proper grocery store within the complex. It'd be awesome to be able to pick up groceries on the way home from some outing without having to brave the elements. (I can only think of a few stations where that's possible now - College, North York Centre...any others?)

The best way to find threads is the UT MAP. The building on Eastern & Broadview is at https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/toronto-21-broadview-49-12m-15s-streetcar-cebra.32702/

Depends on your definition of grocery store.
Technically you can do it as Islington – the urban Sobeys in the Bloor-Islington complex definitely counts.
Eglinton Station has the Metro in the adjacent mall.
If you count places like Marche Leos and Bloor Street Market, that adds a few more (Dundas, Bay)

Farm Boy at Kipling kind of counts, no? Metro at College Park, Valu Mart in Manulife is accessible from Yonge and Bay Stations, Food Basics and Whole Foods at Sheppard, Loblaws in Empress Walk at North York Centre, Independent City Market / Loblaws at Lawrence, Loblaws in the St. Clair Centre, Loblaws atop St. Clair West. Probably more I'm forgetting now...

Thank you for the suggestions all! To clarify, I mean large ones, not little markets. The one in the St. Claire Centre might be the least out of my way after the Metro at College Park. If you can think of any between Yonge-Bloor and Kennedy (or if there's a thread for this), I'd be all ears!

There's a Metro inside the Yonge-Eglinton Centre. The tunnel between Eglinton Station and the Centre was closed during construction of the Crosstown LRT and is still closed but will reopen eventually. There's a Valu-Mart next to Woodbine Station. It's actually outside right next to the station, but it's literally steps away. Turn left if you walk out of the main station entrance.

The one at Woodbine sucks. Small & definitely not "value" (though the staff are nice). Nor does it meet the definition I specifically noted that it be inside. The others have been mentioned. So, basically, we can conclude there aren't really any going east and my suggestion/wish demonstrates a potentially untapped market that East Harbour station could help satisfy. (Given how dense the area around Main Station is soon to become, one there would be well positioned too, but that's another thread).

Agreed, I use that Valu-Mart on occasion and there is no value. It's pricier than the local fruit and veg market and almost priced similar in some respects to a convenience store.

Grocery Store thread for UT:
Downtown Grocery Store List (current + proposed)
If I'm getting this, you're asking about the supermarket space on Peter. I haven't heard anything new, but I expect its still a go. They ( Bestco) have only just started fit-out up at Mirvish. Where their timeline slipped, repeatedly, by several months. So they're just not a fast mover it...
urbantoronto.ca
We've kept 'Downtown in the title', but we discuss grocery stores across the City there.

I'll answer the other part of the above over there.

Ontario Awards Construction Contract for East Harbour Transit Hub

TORONTO — The Ontario government has awarded the construction contract for the East Harbour Transit Hub, which will improve access to transit for thousands of residents and support more than 50,000 jobs in the area. This all-new transit hub is part of the government’s plan to deliver faster and more convenient transit for people across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) and will connect transit users to both GO Transit and the Ontario Line.
“The investments we are making in transit and infrastructure are helping fight gridlock and speed up commutes for millions of people across Ontario, including the 100,000 transit users who are expected to use the East Harbour Transit Hub every day,” said Prabmeet Sarkaria, Minister of Transportation. “By making these investments, we are also supporting thousands of good-paying jobs in Ontario’s construction sector at a time when, in the face of U.S. tariffs that are taking direct aim at Canada’s economy, it’s never been more important to help keep our workers on the job.”
Once complete, the hub is expected to serve approximately 100,000 daily riders, split between the Ontario Line and GO Transit. The hub is part of the government’s plan to make public transit in the GTHA more convenient, helping divert as many as 14,000 people from Union Station during rush hour peaks and reducing congestion at the station by up to 14 per cent.
“We need to build more homes near transit,” said the Honourable Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, Canada’s Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities. “And with this investment, the community surrounding East Harbour Transit Hub will see the addition of approximately 4,000 residential units.”
The East Harbour Transit Hub, located immediately east of the Don Valley Parkway and south of Eastern Avenue, will serve the Riverdale, Riverside and Leslieville communities.
“People depend on public transit to be fast, reliable and get them where they need to go. Riders will now enjoy a better public transit experience,” said Olivia Chow, Mayor of Toronto. “The East Harbour Transit Hub will serve 100,000 people per day on the Ontario Line and GO Transit, resulting in less crowding at Union Station. We are working together to build a better transit system for Torontonians.”
Quick Facts
- The project construction is being delivered through a joint venture of AtkinsRéalis and Bird Construction, leading alongside Hatch Ltd.
- The East Harbour Transit Hub is a joint initiative of the Government of Canada, the Province of Ontario and the City of Toronto to improve transit for Toronto residents.
