History
When Keele Station was opened in 1966 as the western terminus of the Bloor-Danforth line, the Bloor streetcar service was dramatically reduced. The Bloor streetcar now travelled west from Keele Station's Indian Grove platform to Jane Street. On 11 May 1968, the Bloor streetcar was eliminated when the subway line extension from Keele Street to Islington Avenue was opened. During those two years, streetcars looped at the east end of the station on Indian Grove. To connect the subway platform with the streetcar loop, a moving walkway was installed between the eastbound subway platform and what is now the parking lot entrance. The walkway is now sealed off. Today, no streetcars serve Keele Station.
Keele along with Dundas West were considered the potential stations for the northwestern terminus of Phase Two of the proposed Downtown Relief Line.
