Metrolinx is proposing to expropriate an orphan corner substation as part of the Ontario Line subway. It’s the triangle of Gardiner to the south and the rail corridor – where the subway of Fort York National Historic Site for the construction of a hydro land (centre of image) bounded by Strachan Avenue on the east, the will emerge above ground – to the north. Under the Gardiner here are some bricked-in storage rooms of Exhibition Place that were used by the Bentway in October for its Pulse Topology installation. On the east side of Strachan is the Bentway’s new Strachan Gate stage and event space. An old Grand Trunk Railway cut runs just beside it and under the Strachan bridge – making a perfect future pathway linking Garrison Common to Manitoba Drive. The draft plans of Metrolinx show an allowance for a multi-use pathway along the edge of the triangle and both The Friends of Fort York and the Bentway will keep an eye on it.
