Crowded at rush hour
Empty later
An infusion of federal cash (is there an election coming?) will finance an expansion of the Bloor and Yonge subway station. The original 1950s station has already been expanded to accommodate crowds of as many as 750,000 riders a day. Writers pulled out the most scarlet descriptions of the station as the announcement was made. City News called it “chronically-claustrophobic.” Some one billion dollars will be divvied up between Bloor-Yonge station improvements, and the SmartTrack Stations Program, which will see six new stations built on the Stouffville, Lakeshore East, and Kitchener GO rail corridors. Just when is another question.
