The deputant stated that the developer of the new building to rise over the heritage building had proposed that the new main station of the Metrolinx Osgoode stop on the Ontario Line, could be built under the existing building. The Board was told that Metrolinx is recommending that the main station be built on the northeast corner of the intersection within the property associated with Osgoode Hall. The new structure would extend above grade. Three of the corners of University Avenue and Queen Street West contain important heritage buildings: Campbell House on the northwest corner, Osgoode Hall on the northeast corner, and the Bank of Canada on the southwest corner. The Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts occupies the southeast corner. Together they form a very important cultural heritage landscape for our city.
