York U Go station under renovation
Construction on York University’s Go bus station, located just east of the Keele campus, has started; according to Yfile, the new extension is going to increase passenger comfort.
The new platform will feature a heated shelter, better lighting system and enhanced security. The outside surface of the station will also be updated.
The construction will be completed by summer 2011 and is going to take place mostly between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. The extended platform will accommodate a new 12-car train service.
Road closures
Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) continues construction of the York University Subway station, bringing new road closures to Keele campus.
According to the TTC, the two-way lane restrictions on Ian MacDonald Boulevard, Vanier Lane and the Chimneystack Road will begin shortly. To compensate for the rerouting of buses this will force, new shelters and bus bays will be paved and installed.
York Boulevard will also face lane restrictions. TTC traffic personnel will be on-site to facilitate the safe movement of transit and pedestrian traffic.
