Lansdowne is a subway station on Line 2 Bloor–Danforth of the Toronto subway in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The main station entrance is located just north of Bloor Street on Lansdowne Avenue, with a secondary unstaffed entrance on Emerson Avenue. Opened in 1966, the station lies approximately 561 metres (1,842 feet) from its nearest station to the west, Dundas West.[2] The station is in the Dovercourt-Wallace Emerson-Junction neighbourhood on the edge of the Bloordale Village strip. Wi-Fi service is available at this station.[3]
Construction started in June 2019 to install three elevators to make Lansdowne station accessible. One elevator will connect the street level to the station concourse. Two other elevators will connect the concourse to the east- and westbound platforms. Completion is expected in late 2022. As part of the project, the station will receive public art.[4]
Under a GO Transit proposal for Regional Express Rail, a new station on their Barrie line (tentatively called Bloor–Lansdowne) would be built 200 metres (660 ft) west of this station and offer connections between the services.[5]
