First Look at New Dundas Transit Terminal

Tuesday, 28 February 2012 06:35

The face of Dundas Street is going to look dramatically different later this year. Heart FM has your first look at renderings of the new Transit Terminal that will be built in 2012. As City Engineer Harold DeHaan explains, the project will wipe out the former Swiss Chalet building at Dundas and York St. "We'll be abandoning the road there, right beside Swiss Chalet, tearing down the building. We'll be building an island for the buses to come off of Dundas, circle there, park there. So there's no crossing the street for people that want to transfer from one bus to another. We'll be putting some signal lights on Dundas to help the buses turn in there, and some pedestrian signals to help people cross the road there." The plans include a very small building for an office and washrooms for the drivers. An indoor public area has been ruled out of the plans. Still, there are a number of bus shelters, and room for 8 buses to park. The total cost of the project is expected to hit 1.3-million dollars.
