Transit Toronto - Content: Eglinton Station - Toronto's Former Suburban Gateway (3775 words) |
 | Eglinton station was no longer a suburban gateway, but the centrepiece of a growing commercial and residential core located in the very centre in a large and dynamic city. |
 | Eglinton station has changed alongside the intersection -- its entrances rerouted with connections built to nearby shopping centres, and its bus terminal reconfigured, expanded, reduced, and finally replaced -- but the actual subway platform retains features that were in place when the trains first started rolling. |
 | When the TTC replaced old Eglinton garage with the new Eglinton garage on Comstock Road, space became available for a major renovation that has already seen the closure of the aging bus terminal and will eventually produce a new terminal with improved passenger flow through the station. |
