Info
Kitchener Market, which had a working name of Cedar, will be a stop on the Ion rapid transit system in the Region of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. It will be located in the Cedar Hill neighbourhood at the intersection of Charles and Cedar streets, about 100m south of its namesake, the Kitchener Farmer's Market. It is scheduled to open in 2018.The primary access to the platform is from the crosswalk at Cedar Street; a pair of secondary accesses at the east end of the platform cross either the east- or westbound lanes of Charles Street, giving access from either side of the road.
The station's feature wall consists of ceramic tiles in a pattern of red, orange and yellow.
A major high school, Cameron Heights Collegiate Institute, is also located nearby.
The station will feature the artwork Because Cats Can’t Fly by Veronica and Edwin Dam de Nogales about the hard work during the region’s industrial past, and a reminder to find time to play.Though not part of the rapid transit project, visible from the station platform is a new mural erected in 2017 on a neighbouring retaining wall. Created by local arts collective Neruda Arts, it alludes to numerous First Nations themes.
