33 h. ago New TTC station will claim record for the deepest on the network

Ever find yourself on a TTC escalator and catch yourself wondering which station is the deepest? It's a question I asked myself on a recent commute, and one with an answer that wasn't quite as simple as I had envisioned. The TTC's deepest station has changed a few times over the years, and it's a title that will once again change hands in 2025 — or at least that's what we're told.But first, a quick glance back at the previous and current title-holders.Lawrence Station on the Line 1 Yonge–University long held the distinction of being the deepest subway station in town. With a depth of 18.3 metres below the intersection of Yonge and Lawrence, the station was the furthest commuters could descend below street level from its opening on March 31, 1973, until the Toronto–York Spadina subway extension (TYSSE) opened on December 17, 2017.This extension into the northwestern suburbs was carved out by tunnel boring machines at a lower average depth than the eastern ...

4 d. ago Iconic art that's been on display at Toronto subway station for decades is moving

For the first time in 47 years, a legendary piece of art that's called Spadina subway station home for decades is set to be displayed at a Toronto museum as part of a larger exhibition celebrating the work of renowned Canadian artist Joyce Wieland. In the mid-1970s, as the TTC was planning to expand its network with nine new subway stops stretching out of the downtown core, it commissioned several artists to create artwork for the upcoming transit stops, including Wieland. Recognized globally as one of the leading Canadian contemporary artists of the 20th century, Wieland's artwork "Barren Ground Caribou" continued the ecological themes in her work. The nostalgic quilt, which consists of layers of cotton fabric stuffed with synthetic batting, has been a fixture at the station's Kendal Avenue entry since it was unveiled in 1978. In 1975, Wieland said that the quilt "expresses aspects of the public's growing awareness of their environment and its preservation,...
