}}Donlands is a subway station on the Bloor–Danforth line in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The station is located in Toronto's Greektown neighbourhood, at the southwest corner of Donlands Avenue and Strathmore Boulevard, just north of Danforth Avenue. Wi-Fi service is available at this station.[1]

History

Donlands opened in 1966 as part of the original segment of the Bloor-Danforth line, between Keele Station in the west and Woodbine Station in the east. Originally only a small structure covered the stairs and escalator. The current building was constructed in the early 1980s and the fare-collection area was relocated from the concourse up to street level, which also brought the bus bays within the fare-paid zone.

On August 6, 1997, a pile of rubber pads being stored in the wye between Donlands station and Greenwood Yard caught fire. It was the TTC's first major subway incident after the 1995 Russell Hill subway accident. The fire shut down the Bloor-Danforth line from Broadview eastward; two thousand passengers had to be evacuated from a pair of trains and nearly 50 were taken to hospital for smoke inhalation. Over 200 emergency personnel responded to the fire.

Subway infrastructure

Between Donlands and Greenwood stations is a full grade-separated, double-track, underground wye junction, allowing trains from either direction to access the TTC's Greenwood Subway Yard, which is on the surface south of Danforth Avenue.

Nearby landmarks

Nearby landmarks include the Madinah Mosque, Eastern Commerce Collegiate Institute, Subway Academy I, and Wilkinson Junior Public School.

Second exit

In June 2010 the TTC announced plans to add second exits to 2 subway stations on the Bloor-Danforth line. These exits were recommended after a fire safety audit due the stations only having one primary means of emergency access/egress.[2]

The planned construction would see a new exit-only structure built at surface level on Dewhurst Blvd. In order to build the exit the TTC plans to expropriate residential land and demolish a home in the area.[3] This decision proved to be controversial in the neighborhoods affected and after some public outcry the TTC stated that they would review their plans.[4]

The TTC accepted the City Ombudsman's report, that these projects were not handled well by staff on two counts: community outreach, consultation and explanations about the technical and engineering decisions made by staff; and how the TTC communicated with residents whose properties were most affected.[5]

Station improvements have been deferred and a complete Environmental assessment will be done for the Downtown Relief Line first, and any potential implications for Donlands Station would be evaluated at that time.[6]
