Frederick[1] will be a stop on the Region of Waterloo's Ion rapid transit system. It will be located in the median of Frederick Street, just east of King Street, in downtown Kitchener. It is scheduled to open in 2018.
The station will serve northbound trains only; the nearest southbound platform will be at Queen station, about 150m away down Benton and Charles streets.
The station's feature wall consists of solid green glass tiles; this mimics the coloration of the exterior of Market Square.
The primary access to the platform is from the crosswalk at King Street; a secondary access at the north end of the platform crosses the southbound lanes of Frederick Street, giving access from the west side of the road.
Destinations served include the Market Square shopping and office complex, the regional courthouse, and TheMuseum. To the north of the station is the proposed 'Duke Kitchener Tower' condominium development.
