TTC board to consider declaring Spadina Road entrance building surplus and approving new station entrance at Bloor and Spadina

The TTC is being asked to declare a 320-square-metre building at 6 Spadina Road surplus property and release it to the City so a developer can build a new integrated entrance to Spadina Station as part of a mixed-use development. The new entrance will include an elevator, stairs, and access to a future escalator, and the existing northwest entrance will close during construction from 2028 for approximately four years, with riders directed to two other station entrances.

Why is this story here?

ContainedA single station entrance reconstruction bounded to one address, reversible in principle (a future TTC board could choose a different approach), and part of an expected capital program. Not multi-sited or closing options for future boards.Touches a narrow groupSpadina Station riders will experience a four-year closure of one of three entrances during construction, which is a direct effect but narrow to that specific location. Most Toronto transit riders are unaffected. The effect is present (closure begins 2028), but does not reach majority salience.
