Woodbine is a station on the Bloor-Danforth line of the subway system in Toronto, Canada. It is located at 2072 Danforth Avenue at Woodbine Avenue.
In terms of accessibility, while there are escalators leading from platform level, there is at least one small sub-flight of stairs between it and a second escalator in order to reach the surface. As of 2009, there is no elevator from the track to the surface, so it is not a wheelchair-accessible station.
History
Woodbine Station was opened in 1966 as the eastern terminus of the original segment of Bloor-Danforth line.
Although the station was a terminus for two years, it was known that this would be temporary, so it was built with outside platforms rather than a single centre platform that would conveniently serve departures from either track. As the Danforth line replaced a streetcar line, a temporary loop was built to serve streetcars traveling further east; evidence of the tracks remain just north of the station, and an irregular wall in the station's mezzanine indicates the former tunnel to its platform.[2] The walled-off section of this walkway has been partially converted into a staff room.[3]
Surface connections
- 91 Woodbine to Lawrence
- 91A to Parkview Hills
- 91C to York Mills
- 91F to York Mills via Railside
- 92 Woodbine South to Lake Shore
These buses operate from Woodbine Station via south on Woodbine Avenue, and west on Lake Shore Boulevard East to Ashbridge’s Bay Loop.
Second exit
In June 2010 the TTC announced plans to add second exits to 3 subway stations on the Bloor-Danforth line. These exits were recommended after a fire safety audit due the stations only having one primary means of emergency access/egress[4].
The planned construction would see a new exit only structure built at surface level on Strathmore Blvd. In order to build the exits the TTC plans to expropriate residential land and demolish a home in the area [5]. This decision has proved controversial in the neighborhoods affected and after some public outcry the TTC has stated that they will review their plans. [6]
