Humber Loop

Humber Loop is a multimodal transit station and a hub for streetcar routes. It consists of two streetcar turning loops and one bus loop. Humber Loop is located between the Gardiner Expressway and the Queensway just west of the Humber River in Toronto. The loop is accessed by a private right-of-way along the Queensway on the east side of the loop and by Lake Shore Boulevard on its west side. As of November 19, 2023, four Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) streetcar routes either pass through or terminate at Humber Loop.

History
Besides the current Humber Loop, there were two previous Humber loops. All three served different locations near the lower Humber River. First Humber Loop The first Humber Loop opened on July 26, 1922, along Lake Shore Road east of the Humber River at Jane Street (today's South Kingsway). The loop was the terminus of a streetcar branch line that began at the intersection of Roncesvalles Avenue, King Street and Queen Street, crossed a bridge over the rail corridor and descended downhill through Sunnyside to the loop. At the first Humber Loop, riders could transfer to the Mimico radial line to continue westward to Long Branch and Port Credit. Streetcar service at Humber Loop was restored for 501 Queen on October 29, 2023, and begun for 508 Lake Shore on October 30, 2023, and for 507 Long Branch on November 19, 2023. At that time, 301 Queen continued to operate overnight with temporary replacement buses. ==Future==

The TTC plans to relocate the loop to Park Lawn Road where it will better serve development growth in the Humber Bay Shores area. Although preliminary design work has been done, the project has not been funded due to reductions in the capital program. ==Services==
