Queen Street Corridor, Brampton

Queen Street Corridor — Overview

The Queen Street Corridor is Brampton's historic urban spine — the east-west arterial that has connected the city since its founding. Running from the western to eastern boundaries of the city, Queen Street anchors the Downtown Brampton core and passes through a mix of established residential neighbourhoods, retail strips, and community landmarks.

The corridor includes some of Brampton's oldest residential streets with character homes and heritage properties, as well as newer infill development and a growing condo market driven by the transit-oriented vision for the street. Two GO Train stations (Brampton GO and Bramalea GO) provide transit anchors along the corridor.
