Coxwell (TTC)

Coxwell is a subway station on the Line 2 Bloor–Danforth in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The station is located on Strathmore Boulevard just east of Coxwell Avenue and one block north of Danforth Avenue. It opened in 1966 as part of the original segment of the Bloor–Danforth line. Automatic sliding doors, accessible fare gates and the addition of elevators made the station fully accessible in late December 2017.

Description

The entrance, collector's booth, turnstiles and bus bays are at street level, the concourse is on the second level, and the subway platforms are on the lower level. Stairs connect all levels with escalators only operating up at all times. The station building has 4 bus bays.

This station is used as a switchover point for subway operators changing their shift, regularly causing a slight delay while the crew is changed in either direction. Station collectors and subway operators use office space at the Danforth Garage, which is located on the south side of Danforth Avenue near the station.

The station underwent renovations to add elevators from the street to both subway platforms, automatic sliding doors, accessible fare gates, and improved signage which made it fully accessible by 2017. This is part of a system wide program that will retrofit all stations by 2030.

On December 22, 2016, this station along with Leslie were the last subway stations to be equipped with Presto card readers.

In October 2016, the Coxwell Laneway Mosaic Mural was unveiled by dignitaries including TTC Chair Josh Colle
