Haven't had a reason to use the Eglinton West (Cedarvale) Station because of the lock-down. No movies, no in-person Boxing Day shopping, etc..

With the re-opening of the bus loop at Eglinton West (Cedarvale) Station, could someone take and post of images of the area?
 
Don't know why they couldn't build a pedestrian bridge at the north end of Eglinton West/Cedarvale Station to connect with Whitmore Aveue & Old Forest Hill Road and an entrance to the station.

I would really love such a pedestrian bridge there, especially if there are going to be bike racks and even a BikeShare station. It would also be convenient for those going to or from the Beltline.
