King Station, located at Yonge Street and King Street, is being made accessible as part of the TTC Easier Access Project. King Station is being equipped with three below grade elevators which will provide accessibility from the existing TTC platforms to the concourse level. The project has begun and is scheduled for completion in June 2026. Construction is being undertaken in several phases, with varying degrees of sidewalk and lane closures taking place on Melinda Street, Yonge Street, and Colborne Street.
