'''Queen's Quay''' (pronounced "key") is a short road that skirts along [[Toronto]]'s downtown waterfront area. The street is lined mostly with condos.

The road replaced both [[Front Street (Toronto)|Front Street]] and [[Lake Shore Boulevard (Toronto)|Lake Shore Boulevard]] as the most southerly road when [[Toronto]] began to fill in the inner harbour. It is a four-lane boulevard, separated from [[Bay Street]] to [[Bathurst Street]] by a streetcar right-of-way.

Queen's Quay is served by two streetcar lines, operating on a dedicated right-of-way. The [[509 Harbourfront (TTC)|509 HARBOURFRONT]] and [[510 Spadina (TTC)|510 SPADINA]] both terminate at [[Union Station (Toronto)|Union Station]] and run along Queen's Quay from [[Bay Street]], westward. At [[Spadina Avenue]], the 510 heads north to [[Spadina (TTC)|Spadina Station]], and the 509 continues west, bound for the [[Exhibition Loop (TTC)|Exhibition Loop]]. There are plans to add a [[streetcar]] line on the eastern end on '''Queen's Quay'''. Various bus routes currently serve portions of the eastern portion of Queen's Quay: the 6 BAY operates from Bay Street to [[Jarvis Street]], the 75 SHERBOURNE operates from Jarvis Street to [[Sherbourne Street]], and the 97 YONGE and 320 YONGE [[Blue Night Network|Blue Night]] Bus operates from Bay Street to [[Yonge Street]].
The [[Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Task Force]] has advocated converting it into a two-lane avenue north of the tracks; the southern portion will be repurposed into pedestrian and bicycle use, including the completion of the waterfront trail. A nine-day demonstration of how the completed project will work was opened on [[August 11]], [[2006]].
