KEELE (TTC)

'Keele' is a station on the Bloor-Danforth line of the subway system in Toronto, Canada. It is located at 1733 Bloor Street West at Keele Street/Parkside Drive. It was opened in 1966. The station was the western terminus of the line until 1968.
Just east of Keele Street, the line emerges from a hillside, changing directly from tunnel to an elevated alignment, then enters the station. The fully enclosed station straddles Keele Street and a side street named Indian Grove crosses below the station. These features make it one of the system's more uniquely arranged subway stations.
Just east of the station, the line emerges onto an open bridge. It then descends to ground level to run beside the small (and no longer actively used) Vincent or Keele train yard, and after this, descends into tunnel.
Keele along with Dundas West were considered to be potential northwestern terminal station in Phase Two of the formerly planned Downtown Relief Line.

There is an abandoned moving sidewalk connecting the Indian Grove entrance to the eastbound platform. This area has been sealed off since 1968. A grey door just inside the Indian Grove entrance is used to access the old sidewalk today.
