Trinity Street, Toronto
Trinity Street, located in the Distillery District, serves as a vibrant gathering space for the community, often hosting events like market days. It plays a crucial role as a major thoroughfare, connecting various parts of the district. Distillery Lane runs southeast from Parliament Street and intersects with Trinity Street, while Trinity Street extends from Mill Street in the north to the motor vehicle parking area in the south. Additionally, Tank House Lane stretches from Trinity Street towards Cherry Street.
Similar to the other streets in the district, Trinity Street is traditionally paved with bricks and exclusively open to pedestrians and cyclists. Motor vehicle traffic is limited to the streets and parking areas outside the historical center of the district.
The Distillery streetscapes are adorned with several impressive sculptures placed along the lanes. Notably, three sculptures grace Distillery Lane, while another sculpture can be found at the parking area located at the end of Trinity Street. Standing proudly in the heart of the square is "Still Dancing," a remarkable 50-foot-tall steel artwork created by renowned American artist Dennis Oppenheim. This distinctive sculpture has become a well-known landmark in Toronto.
