A new transit line is coming to the West Queen West neighbourhood too, and it will provide much needed rapid transit to the surrounding region. SmartTrack is a new transit line that’s aiming to take advantage of the existing GO Rail lines that swoop across the downtown core. They’ll be improved with new stations that will be built along downtown, providing improved rapid transit to multiple communities.
These tracks go across the area, and a new station will be constructed where they intersect with King Street. This will drastically cut down the time it takes to travel to the downtown core, and it will also make it easier to travel to other municipalities in the GTA. The SmartTrack will make it possible to live in the West Queen West neighbourhood while having to commute to places like Kitchener-Waterloo for work.
People are increasingly attracted to living in the urban city centre, as they’re drawn by the prospect of being in the middle of it all.
