It is located in the median of William R. Allen Road on the north side of Eglinton Avenue West. The station is to be renamed Cedarvale in conjunction with the opening of the Eglinton Crosstown Line on which it will be an interchange station. ==History== The station opened in 1978, as part of the subway line extension from St. George to Wilson Station. Eglinton West Station had been planned to be an interchange station as part of the proposed Eglinton West line (not to be confused with the Eglinton Crosstown line). This was one of the three proposed subway lines in the Network 2011 Plan created in 1985 by the Toronto Transit Commission. The project was cancelled in 1995 after the election of a Progressive Conservative government led by Mike Harris. Afterwards, the small amount of tunnel that had been dug under the station was refilled. Had the project gone ahead, this station would likely have been renamed "Eglinton West-Allen". As of October 2005, the station is wheelchair-accessible.〔 〕 Metrolinx is building the new Eglinton Crosstown line, running along Eglinton Avenue from Mount Dennis to Kennedy Station, passing through Eglinton Station and Eglinton West Station on the way. The commuter parking lots, formerly located east and west of the station building on the north side of Eglinton Avenue, were taken out of service in December 2012, leaving no immediately adjacent parking. The lots are being used as staging areas for the tunneling machines during the construction of the Eglinton Crosstown line. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eglinton West (TTC)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
