Broadview Station
Coordinated projects on Broadview Avenue
The TTC will be renewing aging streetcar tracks at Broadview Station. The City of Toronto and TTC have also coordinated the following essential infrastructure improvements along Broadview Avenue to limit impacts to the local community. The work includes:
- Toronto Water Sewer Rehabilitation on Broadview Avenue - starting in May, managed by the City
- Streetcar track renewal on Broadview Avenue from Danforth Avenue to Gerrard Street East – starting in July, managed by the City in coordination with TTC

Broadview Station work
From mid-June to early September, TTC will be enhancing the streetcar track infrastructure at Broadview Station, as recommended by the City of Toronto in its August 2020 Broadview Avenue Traffic Safety Report. TTC plans to expand the station east into the existing Green P parking lot to enhance safety, transit and traffic operations and improve the current situation of streetcars queuing on Broadview Avenue.
Currently, only one 505 Dundas streetcar can safely fit inside the station loop. After construction, two streetcars for both the 504 King and 505 Dundas routes will fit inside the station to significantly improve transit service, traffic operations and sight lines on Broadview Avenue.
What to expect during construction
- To conduct rail replacement work safely and efficiently on Broadview Avenue and Erindale Avenue, a full road closure will be required for approximately 30 days.
- After the full road closure, work will take place inside the station with traffic lanes on Broadview Avenue and Erindale Avenue restored.
- Construction activities will include excavation, concrete removal, rail removal; new concrete and rail installation
- The majority of disruptive work such as excavation will take place between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. Other rail-related activities are required around-the-clock to ensure quality installation of new rail and concrete.
- Expected overnight activities include rail welding/grinding, placing new rail and concrete.
