Kitchener Market station
Kitchener Market is a stop on the Ion rapid transit system in the Region of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. It is located in the Cedar Hill neighbourhood at the intersection of Charles and Cedar streets, about south of its namesake, the Kitchener Farmer's Market. The station initially had a working name of Cedar, and it opened in 2019.
The primary access to the platform is from the crosswalk at Cedar Street; secondary accesses at the east end of the platform, crossing either side of Charles Street, are marked as emergency exits only.
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 features 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.
