Summerhill (TTC)
Summerhill is a subway station on the Yonge–University line in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located on Shaftesbury Avenue just east of Yonge Street, with the entrance being at the north end of the train platforms. The station opened in 1954 as part of the original Yonge line. Wi-Fi service is available at this station. Like Rosedale station, the next station to the south, it is currently among the least-used stations, with only average weekday ridership.

By August 2022, construction had started to make the station's main entrance wheelchair accessible by adding two elevators, one each to the north- and southbound platforms. In a February 2020 meeting of the TTC board, the TTC proposed a secondary exit for emergency use. The station entrance i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Queens Quay (Toronto)
Queens Quay is a prominent street in the Harbourfront neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Rosedale Ravine
Castle Frank Brook is a buried creek and south-west flowing tributary of the Don River in central and north-western Toronto, Ontario, originating near the intersection of Lawrence Avenue and Dufferin Street.
