Lakeshore East Line GO Expansion

East Harbour Transit Hub

A new station that will strengthen transit options for the City of Toronto.

The East Harbour Transit Hub is a new interchange station serving the Riverdale, Riverside and Leslieville communities, located immediately east of the Don Valley Parkway and south of Eastern Avenue.

Connecting to the Lakeshore East and Stouffville GO lines, as well as the future Ontario Line subway, this transformative project will provide access to GO trains and TTC services all in one location.

As Metrolinx works to expand GO train service, customers could see trains arriving at the East Harbour Transit Hub as frequently as every five minutes during the busiest travel hours. Combined with Ontario Line users, the station is expected to serve about 100,000 daily riders.

In addition, the hub will be integrated into a 38-acre Transit Oriented Community that will bring new residential and commercial space.  

This is a joint initiative of the Government of Canada, Province of Ontario, the City of Toronto and Metrolinx.

The East Harbour Transit Hub is currently in construction. For more information on project phases, please check out our project lifecycle page.
