Toronto’s main transit hub is getting a facelift
The city of Toronto has come to the decision to update one of its iconic locations, the Union Station. The project will convert the station over the next three years into a more modern design. Meant to accommodate the stations daily growing passenger size, the project is currently expected to cost $50-million and expand the station into a 70,000 square-foot glass atrium that will hover above the tracks. Built with an environmentally conscious approach, the new Union Station will be another crowning jewel for the city, meant to rival both the CN Tower and the Rogers Center.
