Transit Toronto

Thursday, June 5, the City of Toronto and the TTC introduced new bus-priority lanes on Queens Quay East.

The bus-only lanes are in effect:

• eastbound between Lower Jarvis and Lower Sherbourne streets; and
• westbound between Lower Sherbourne and Bay streets.

The TTC expects the new bus-only lanes to improve service along these routes:

• 75 Sherbourne;
• 114 Queens Quay East; and
• 202 Cherry Beach.

Southbound buses along route 75 and eastbound buses along routes 114 and 202 no longer drop off or pick up passengers at the stop

• on Queens Quay East at Richardson Street.

In 2019, the City of Toronto identified the TTC’s Victoria Park Station parking lot, at 777 Victoria Park Avenue, was identified as one of the sites for the HousingTO Action Plan, a City-led project that repurposes City-owned land to develop a mix of housing options close to transit and other amenities. In 2019, CreateTO, a City agency in charge of redeveloping City lands, consulted the nearby community about repurposing the lot for new housing, and the City amended its Zoning By-law Amendment to allow the development later that year

Tuesday, June 3, 2025, the TTC permanently closed the parking lot to allow construction of a new housing development. The nearest TTC parking, with 920 spaces, is at Warden Station, 705 Warden Avenue.

The transit agency has relocated the passenger pick-up / drop-off area for Victoria Park Station will to the Dentonia Park Golf Course parking lot just north of the station and has also temporarily closed bus stop #11376 on the east side of Victoria Park Avenue, near the north part of the parking lot during construction. The work zone also temporarily blocks the east sidewalk on Victoria Park Avenue between Denton Avenue and the north part of the bus lane and the north sidewalk on Denton Avenue between Victoria Park Avenue and the east part of the bus lane. Detour signs direct pedestrians to the other side of these streets.

Contractors maintain access to Victoria Park Station and the bus terminal throughout construction. The work will not impact subway and bus services, except for the bus stop closure.

The TTC is closing Line 1 Yonge - University subway between Finch and Eglinton stations earlier than usually, Monday, June 9 until Thursday, June 12. Line 1 subway trains operate only between Vaughan Metropolitan Centre and Eglinton stations after 11 p.m. those evenings.

Shuttle buses partially replace subway service. The buses drop off or pick up passengers at stops near each station on the closed section of the line. TTC staff are available in each to station to direct you to the shuttle-bus boarding and offloading locations.

(Or, consider a shuttle-bus alternative.)

Most stations on this section of Line 1 remain open, so you can load PRESTO fare cards, buy PRESTO tickets and connect to TTC buses, streetcars and Line 4 Sheppard subway trains or to GO Transit and York Region Transit buses. However, North York Centre and Lawrence stations are closed.

Since the bus terminal at Lawrence Station is closed, board connecting buses at temporary stops on Lawrence Avenue West, instead of in the station bus terminal:

Finch and Eglinton are accessible stations. The TTC is assigning two Wheel-Trans vehicles to operate along Yonge Street between the two stations. Speak to any TTC staff member for directions or help to locate Wheel-Trans stops at or near each station.

While this section of Line 1 is closed, TTC crews are maintaining the tracks. The TTC also likely continues working on the Easier Access elevator project at Lawrence Station.

Since Monday, April 28, the City of Toronto has closed

• Sentinel Road, northbound lanes, between Sheppard Avenue West and Lamberton Boulevard

to accommodate City contractors who are restoring the roadway after earlier water-main construction.

Since late 2024, the contractors have rebuilt Sentinel Road between Sheppard West and Lamberton Boulevard and replaced the water-main between Dovehouse Avenue and Fonthill Place, including the City-owned portion of substandard water services.

The City is also installing raised cycle tracks on both sides of the road, making for a safer and more comfortable cycling environment. Where feasible, the project also improves pedestrian amenities, including wider sidewalks, accessible crossings and raised crosswalks. During the project, the TTC is also upgrading bus stops to integrate with the cycle track and improve safety for bus operators, transit riders and cyclists.

Starting 5 a.m. Wednesday, June 4, the City expands the work zone to include southbound lanes on Sentinel.

The TTC is further detouring buses along this route, while the street is closed:

• 106 Sentinel.

This phase of construction on Sentinel Road and the resulting TTC detour continue until July 26 (5 a.m.)
