Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (TTC)
Vaughan Metropolitan Centre is a planned station of the Yonge–University–Spadina line of the subway system in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, to be built on its western branch, the Spadina line. Construction has begun at Highway 7 and Millway Avenue, west of Jane Street. It is expected to open in 2016 when the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) will have finished building the extension of the line. The station and track will be aligned directly underneath Millway Avenue (now vacant land).
The station one of two planned stations that are outside the City of Toronto, specifically in the City of Vaughan, in York Region. It would also be the first terminus located outside the current City of Toronto.
The TTC has not decided how this will affect fare pricing; TTC bus riders are now required to pay extra fare when their bus crosses Steeles. However, it should be noted that in 1968, five subway stations opened inside the TTC's "fare 2" region at the time (Islington, Royal York, Old Mill, Victoria Park and Warden), yet no extra fare was required to reach those stations.
Geographically, this will be the northernmost station in the system, as well as the second westernmost after Kipling.

“Yet some, who all this while did weep and sing,
And sing and weep, soared up into the ring;
But most would use no wing.
O fools, said I, thus to prefer dark night
Before true light!”
—Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)
“In metropolitan cases, the love of the most single-eyed lover, almost invariably, is nothing more than the ultimate settling of innumerable wandering glances upon some one specific object.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Him, the vindictive rod of angry justice
Sent, quick and howling, to the centre headlong;
I, fed with judgements,in a fleshy tomb, am
Buried above ground.”
