Alma Ave + Gladstone Ave Station is located in the west end Toronto, nestled between Little Portugal, Queen West and Parkdale.

Deployed on August 2, 2018, this SMART station has accumulated over 1,100 rides!  Boasting an independent character – predominantly through architecture erected in the early 70s – this area is certainly one of Toronto’s most unique communities, attracting students, young professionals and a plethora of independent shops. Home to Tibetan, North African and West Indian enclaves, this multicultural community is well-known for its incredible restaurants, unique bars, vintage stores, historic hotels and galleries.
