Everything about Lawrence Ttc totally explained
Lawrence is a
station on the
Yonge-University-Spadina line of the
subway system in
Toronto,
Ontario,
Canada. It is located at 3101
Yonge Street at
Lawrence Avenue West/East, with an unstaffed entrance at Bedford Park Road/Ranleigh Avenue. It was opened in
1973, as an intermediate stop between
Eglinton, the former northern terminus of the Yonge line, and
York Mills, which acted as a temporary terminus for a year until the subway was extended to
Finch.
Nearby landmarks include
Lawrence Park and the series of parks that run through Chatsworth and Blythwood ravines from Chatsworth Drive and Cheritan Avenue to
Bayview Avenue, a distance of about 2.8
kilometres. Lawrence was the first station on the network to feature an underground bus terminal (
York Mills,
St. Clair West, and
Don Mills are the others), and is one of Toronto’s deepest stations. The station has one centre platform serving trains going in both directions, and is relatively nondescript (on both the inside and outside).
Lawrence station is also home to a maintenance worker who fills the subway platform with opera-like music (mostly during weekday morning rush hour period).
Buses enter the station counter to the normal traffic directions in
North America (to the left instead of the right). A series of renovations have been completed to repair damage to the walls and roadway of the bus platform.
On
April 23 2007, TTC employee Antonio Almeida was killed in the tunnel just south of the station when a platform on their work car dislodged.
There are four exits from the station:
- Lawrence Ave. northwest side of Yonge at Continental Place
- Lawrence Ave. northeast side of Yonge
- Bedford Park Ave. northwest side of Yonge
- Ranleigh Ave. northeast side of Yonge
