The extension is to open in December. The timing you proved does not make sense in the context of that opening.

I posted that in 2014. Service has long been extended to Eglinton west.

Once it becomes busier, Glencairn station could get a Gateway Newstands; Marlee Variety in Marlee Village is the nearest convenience store.

Holy crap! That was one of the most boring stations I had ever been in. I have never seen it look this way. Wow, I'll have to go take another look.

Glencairn Station Skylight to feature Rita Letendre's long awaited replacement of "Joy". "Joy" -- the largest TTC art project stretches 200 meters across the ceiling of Toronto's Glencairn...

Great news! How fantastic this section will be when Yorkdale Arc-En-Ciel is finished

Are they still actually working on Arc-en-Ciel? It's been something like a year since the last indication of any progress there... Would be great news if they are!

im not sure, but they should re-do it with LED strips, that are much ore durable and have a longevity.

It's probably going to be the last thing that is done once all of the other construction is complete

I cannot wait for the artwork for Glencairn station to be restored. By the way, it's the nearest subway station to where I live.

I believe it's being done as part of the overall upgrades to the station, so we probably won't see it until at least when the new elevators open, if not after that.

What a great development in a city that often seems indifferent or even hostile towards investing in its public realm. I just hope that the interior of Glencairn hasn't lost much of its original Brutalist design with bold concrete structural features exposed and colourful red-brown brick tiles.
