TORONTO TRANSIT COMMISSION (387 words) |
 | At Dufferin and Yorkdale Stations, TTC property adjacent to the station is so constrained that it is not possible to fit bicycle racks near the entrances without significantly interfering with passenger movements into and out of the station. |
| At the remaining 13 TTC subway stations -- mostly the older, downtown stations which are surrounded by development -- there is not enough TTC property available to fit in bicycle racks. |
| TTC customers who wish to lock their bicycles at these stations must rely on bicycle racks or posts which have been installed by the City in the vicinity of the station. |
| Transit Toronto - Content: Toronto's Lost Subway Stations (2119 words) |
| When the TTC went to the Toronto residents on January 1, 1946 with a referendum on its subway proposal, there were two lines being voted upon. |
| Built before the TTC's propensity to build extras into their stations to handle future growth, Lower Queen features space for only an eastbound and westbound track, with no provision for passing tracks or loops (although the 1946 plan called for underground loops at Church (west facing) and Simcoe (east facing) Streets). |
| At the same time, the TTC was noticing that suburban traffic was increasing on Bloor Street and Danforth Avenue, and that the Bloor streetcar's capacity was being taxed far more than the Queen car's. |
