Lawrence East (TTC)
Lawrence East is a station on the Scarborough Rapid Transit (SRT) line of the subway/RT system in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located at 2444 Lawrence Avenue East between Kennedy Road and Midland Avenue and opened in 1985.
Lawrence East is the third-busiest station on the line, after Kennedy and Scarborough Centre.
A 90 space park and ride lot is included on site.
The station will eventually be part of the Eglinton–Scarborough Crosstown line. The upgrade and replacement of the Scarborough RT portion is scheduled to start in late 2015, after the conclusion of the 2015 Pan American Games and the 2015 Parapan American Games. Scarborough RT riders will be bussed for three years until the upgrade is completed.
