Front Street West is one of the main east-west thoroughfares in downtown Toronto, renowned for being the location of most of the city's iconic landmarks and a major transportation hub.
Central Function: The street serves as the central spine of the city's entertainment, convention, and sports district, located just north of Lake Ontario.
Key Landmarks: The western section of Front Street is home to some of Toronto's most famous structures:
The CN Tower.
The Rogers Centre (retractable roof stadium).
The Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC).
Union Station (Canada's primary rail station and transit hub).
Historical Significance: The street originally ran along the shore of Lake Ontario before large land reclamation projects in the 19th century moved the waterfront back. Many historic buildings (like the St. Lawrence Market) are located on the street's eastern stretch.
It was a new day for the City of Toronto. A new era begins as John Tory's first day as mayor commences. No more shenanigans. Now lets get this city moving again.
