Keelesdale station
Keelesdale is an underground Toronto subway station on Line 5 Eglinton in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located in the Silverthorn neighbourhood at the intersection of Keele Street and Eglinton Avenue. Nearby destinations include the York Civic Centre, Keelesdale Park and Chris Tonks Arena, York Memorial Collegiate Institute, George Harvey Collegiate Institute, and the Silverthorn neighbourhood.
The primary entrance and an off-street bus loop are located at the northeast corner of Eglinton Avenue and Trethewey Drive. A secondary entrance is located on the northwest corner of Eglinton Avenue and Trethewey Drive adjacent to York Memorial Collegiate. A third entrance is located at the southeast corner of Eglinton Avenue and Keele Street. The primary entrance is fully accessible and has a station plaza with a landscaped public space. The station has four bus bays outside the fare-paid area plus on-street connections for TTC buses. There is outdoor parking for 60 bicycles.
During the planning stages for Line 5 Eglinton, the station was given the working name "Keele", which is identical to the pre-existing Keele station on Line 2 Bloor–Danforth. In 2015, a report to the TTC board recommended giving a unique name to each station in the subway system (including Line 5 Eglinton). Thus, the station was given the final name "Keelesdale". Silverthorn was also considered.
On March 10, 2016, Ontario premier Kathleen Wynne and Toronto mayor John Tory attended a ground-breaking ceremony at the site of the station, which was the first station of the project on which construction started.
Before construction, land expropriations and demolitions were required. The primary entrance is at the site of former EMS Station 19 and a car wash. The secondary entrance is at the site of a former Coffee Time outlet and its adjacent parking lot.
The station was designed by Arcadis, following an architectural concept designed by architects gh3* from Toronto and Daoust Lestage Lizotte Stecker from Montreal. As with other stations on Line 5, architectural features include natural light from large windows and skylights, steel structures painted white, and orange accents (the colour of the line).
The bus terminal is not within the fare-paid area. The following bus routes serve Keelesdale station:
