Adam Giambrone's #TransitHubbing Guide to #DufferinQueen

TransitHub is thrilled that former TTC Chair and avid #TransitHubber Adam Giambrone has contributed his Guide to the #DufferinQueen Hub. Take in some art, architecture, and learn about the history of this rich and engaging Transit Hub!

Dufferin & Queen

This is actually one of the newer full intersections in the City. For years, Dufferin Street dead-ended at Queen and you needed to "jog" around onto neighbouring streets to continue your trip on Dufferin. This changed in November of 2010 when the first bus and cars went through the new $45 million underpass that connected Dufferin for the first time. First proposed in the 1880's, it took over a 130 years to realize and there's still artwork that is coming to the project. Also take a look at the new parkettes created around it on the north and south sides.
