Avenue^[1] is an LRT station under construction on the Toronto Transit Commission's Eglinton Crosstown line. It will be located in North Toronto under Eglinton Avenue between Avenue Road and Highbourne Road. It is scheduled to open in 2020.

The main entrance to this underground station will be located on the northwest corner of Eglinton and Avenue Road, replacing a convenience store. A second entrance, about 80m east on the north side of Eglinton, will replace two storefronts.^[2]

Destinations include the Chaplin Estates neighbourhood, Marshall McLuhan Catholic Secondary School, the Eglinton Theatre, and Eglinton Park.

In a report to the TTC Board on 23 November 2015 it was recommended that stations on Line 5 Eglinton LRT should be given unique names.^[1] As a result, Metrolinx proposes to change this station's name to Oriole Park.

TTC staff evaluated the initial report and the proposed names and provided feedback and recommendations. A primary TTC concern was to avoid replication and redundancy with existing TTC station names. The proposed names are unique and are not likely to be confused with existing station names.
