Spadina streetcars returning to route from Sunday
Starting Sun. Mar. 30, the TTC is restoring 510 Spadina and 310 Spadina Night streetcar service between Spadina Station and Union Station, following completion of critical track renewal and modernization of the overhead power network along Spadina Ave.
510 Spadina streetcars will run every five minutes on weekdays from the morning rush through to the evening, and every nine minutes in the early morning and late evening periods. On weekends, 510 Spadina streetcars will arrive every four to six minutes, morning to evening, and every 10 to 15 minutes in the early mornings and late evenings. 310 Spadina Night will operate every 20 minutes, seven days a week.
The 510 Spadina bus replacement service implemented last June will end, with streetcars serving stops on the Spadina Ave. streetcar right-of-way once again.
The completed infrastructure work included upgrades to the overhead electrical system along the Spadina streetcar right-of-way between King St. and Queens Quay, and from College St. to Spadina Station. The TTC also carried out track renewal work at Spadina Station, along with enabling works for a future platform extension.
509 Harbourfront changes due to construction
Also starting this Sunday, the TTC is suspending the 509 Harbourfront streetcar service between Union Station and Spadina Ave. (Queen’s Quay Loop). Customers who usually ride the 509 Harbourfront can instead board any 510A Spadina streetcar. Those travelling between Spadina Ave. and Exhibition Loop can transfer to a 509B Harbourfront replacement bus to continue their journey.
The temporary suspension is to accommodate work underway to replace a 105-year-old watermain, along with streetcar track renewal, at the intersection of Bathurst St., Lakeshore Blvd. W. and Fleet St.
Work is being carried out in phases to avoid a full closure of the intersection. Details of traffic and pedestrian impacts are available at https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/get-involved/public-consultations/infrastructure-projects/bathurst-street-lake-shore-boulevard-construction.
Construction is expected to be completed by the end of June 2025. Full details of the service adjustments are available at www.ttc.ca/BathurstLakeshore. Customers are also encouraged to follow @TTCNotices on X or sign up for eAlerts.
