Our sister site UrbanToronto.ca recently toured Highway 407 Station in Vaughan, a suburban city located just north of Toronto. The new integrated transit hub will be the second-to-last station of the Line 1 subway extension, which is expected to open in December 2017.
"It's like something out of Star Trek," the TTC's Joanna Kervin remarks, looking up at the sinuous form taking shape above us. Located southwest of the Highway 407 and Jane interchange in Vaughan, the regional transit hub will be the penultimate station on the northwest branch of Toronto's Line 1, integrating services for TTC, GO, ZÜM, and York Region Transit. Ahead of its scheduled December 2017 opening, the station's sleek kinetic form is already a conspicuous presence among a sea of highway-adjacent boxes.
Designed by Aedas in partnership with AECOM and engineering firm Parsons Brinckerhoff, Highway 407 Station features an 18-bay bus terminal above grade, along with TTC subway service below. Along with enhanced local service for York Region Transit, one of Brampton's ZÜM express bus lines, and GO, the multi-modal facility will redirect some of the existing GO buses from Toronto destinations (including Yorkdale), providing a connection to the subway while avoiding Toronto traffic.
