Station Modernization
The TTC has plans to renovate this station. Part of the plan includes the demolition of the current bus terminal and construction of a new, wheelchair-accessible one on the north side of the station. The plans also call for a new passenger pick up and drop off area, installation of elevators for increased accessibility to the subway level and exterior landscaping and upgrades to station finishes to give it a more modern look. The project is scheduled to start in 2010 and last approximately 3 years.

Famous quotes containing the word station:
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
