Thorncliffe Park Station
After crossing the Don Valley, the Ontario Line will cross Millwood Road and run along Overlea Boulevard on elevated tracks that will be designed to fit nicely with their surroundings and create opportunities for new public spaces underneath. Metrolinx will seek community input on designs as part of ongoing consultations.
The station located at Thorncliffe Park Drive will bring much-needed rapid transit to a community that has been historically underserved by transit. The station and the elevated tracks will be completely separated from vehicles and pedestrians to provide reliable, safe service.

Maintenance and Storage Facility
The maintenance and storage facility is a critical part of any public transit operation. It’s where trains are housed and maintained to keep them clean and safe for our customers each and every day.
To support the 388,000 daily trips the Ontario Line is expected to accommodate by 2041, a large site will be needed to store and service the trains.
After an extensive study of nine different sites across the route, the site in Thorncliffe Park was selected because our studies showed that it best met all of the technical needs for the project while clearly demonstrating the least impact to local jobs and businesses.
Work on the facility is anticipated to begin in 2023.
Protecting businesses, organizations and jobs
We know how vital local businesses and community organizations are to the fabric of this city and we will ensure they have the supports they need to continue to succeed.
We are now working one-on-one with the leaders of businesses and organizations in the area to make sure they continue to thrive. In some cases this might include working with business owners to relocate to other nearby locations within the community.
The maintenance and storage facility will also bring upwards of 300 new jobs to the community once the Ontario Line is in service.
