Royal Orchard Station
Royal Orchard Station will serve the Royal Orchard area of Thornhill, putting the subway within walking distance for 7,300 people and 1,300 jobs.
The station will make it easier to get to nearby green spaces like Pomona Mills Park and the network of trails that weave through the Don River valley.
Two emergency exit buildings will be built between Royal Orchard Station and the tunnel portal to support safe subway service.
