Since Monday, April 11, TTC contractors have been working on a project to upgrade the terminal at Dundas West Station. During the project, crews are:
- rebuilding the streetcar tracks in the terminal;
- modifying the platform for streetcar passengers; and
- re-aligning the overhead streetcar wiring in some areas to improve how the TTC’s low-floor Flexity Outlook streetcars operate through the terminal.
Construction on the project takes place in three phases:
- Phase one: replacing the tracks in Dundas West Station terminal and expanding the platform for streetcars along the 505 Dundas route;
- Phase two: replacing the tracks on Dundas Street West, including “special track work” (curves and switches), between Edna Avenue and the terminal entrance; and
- Phase three: replacing the tracks on Edna Avenue.
The TTC has now finished installing the tracks on Dundas and Edna and the City of Toronto reopened the streets to traffic Friday, June 17.
During the next phase, the TTC continues replacing the overhead wiring in the station.
During this phase of construction, it’s revising the detours for buses and streetcars along these routes:
- 40 Junction - Dundas West;
- 168 Symington;
- 304 King overnight;
- 306 Carlton overnight;
- 312 St Clair - Junction overnight;
- 402 Parkdale community bus;
- 504C King shuttle buses; and
- 505 Dundas.
The TTC continues to replace streetcars along the 304 King overnight and 504A King routes with buses. The buses operate due the ongoing City of Toronto / TTC project to replace the streetcar tracks and improve the street infrastructure at the intersection of Queen Street West / King Street West / The Queensway / Roncesvalles Avenue.
Subway trains along Line 2 Bloor - Danforth continue to operate through and drop off or pick up passengers in Dundas West Station.
