Summerhill (Toronto Subway)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Entrance to Summerhill Station

Summerhill is an underground subway station in Toronto . It lies on the Yonge-University line of the Toronto Subway , at the intersection of Yonge Street and Shaftesbury Avenue. The station has side platforms and is used by an average of 5,780 passengers every day (2015).

The station opened on March 30, 1954 along with the Union - Eglinton section , the oldest subway on Canadian soil. Summerhill was originally in a cut, but it was covered around 1970. There are transfer options to two bus routes.

Summerhill is one of the least frequented stations on the entire network. The reason for this lies in the low density of buildings and the lack of significant cross streets. In the immediate vicinity, however, is the disused North Toronto station of the Canadian Pacific Railway . There are vague plans to reopen the station and thereby relieve the Union Station . Summerhill would become significantly more important as a transfer hub.
