Is This Toronto's Most Beautiful Transit Terminal?

There's been much talk lately about Toronto's transit system including the Scarborough Subway two stop expansion to nowhere, Eglinton's new CrossTown LRT, and Union Station's $1 billion dollar transformation. Last week, Victoria Park station won the Toronto Urban Design Award for its renovated bus terminal. The winning design included a bike storage facility, a widened and elevated pedestrian walkway, a 5,000 square foot green roof and an improved accessibility initiative. Victoria Park station opened in 1968, one of only two subway stations in Scarborough, divided into two fair systems; York and East York in Zone one; Scarborough, North York and Etobicoke in Zone two. After a construction delay, the anticipated Victoria Park renovation was finally completed in 2010.
