Dundas and Eglinton West Stations to be officially renamed as of December 7

Starting on Sun., Dec. 7, the TTC will officially rename two stations on Line 1 Yonge–University. Eglinton West Station will become Cedarvale Station, and Dundas Station will be renamed TMU Station.

These changes will be reflected in updated signage at both stations, revised maps across the system and on the TTC website, and Line 1 trains will now announce arrival at the stations with their new names. Over the past few weeks, the TTC has been updating signage, maps and other TTC wayfinding information across the system to reflect the new names.

“The renaming of these two stations reflects closer ties to the communities in which the stations are located, and in the case of TMU Station, it is a result of a partnership that will provide the TTC with access to world-class research on transit,” said TTC Chair Jamaal Myers. 

“Over the past few weeks, customers will have seen updated signage and maps across the system, reflecting the upcoming station name changes,” said TTC Chief Strategy and Customer Officer Josh Colle. “Our partnership with TMU is particularly exciting, as it will provide the TTC with access to innovative transit ideas and solutions, at no cost to the TTC.” 

“The change to TMU Station marks a significant milestone for the university,” said Mohamed Lachemi, president and vice-chancellor, Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU). “It reflects not only our important place in the heart of Toronto but also our firm commitment to contributing meaningfully to the city we call home. We are extremely proud to welcome students, faculty, staff and visitors to our campus through the new TMU Station”.

The renaming of Cedarvale Station was first approved by the TTC Board in 2015. Cedarvale Station will connect to the upcoming Line 5 Eglinton Crosstown. While Metrolinx has not yet announced an opening date for Line 5, customers can already use the pedestrian underpass at Cedarvale to connect directly to Line 1.

In May 2025, the TTC Board approved the renaming of Dundas Station to TMU Station, reflecting a new partnership with Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU). Beyond the name change, this partnership includes the creation of the Transit Innovation Yard, a dedicated hub for testing and developing advanced transit solutions. The pilot project will explore initiatives such as route optimization, enhanced real-time service updates, and improved journey-planning tools, reinforcing Toronto’s position as a leader in transit innovation.

The renaming of both stations will coincide with the official opening of Line 6 Finch West. By aligning these initiatives, the TTC can implement updated subway announcements—including those for Line 6—efficiently, at minimal additional cost, and without any major disruption to customer experience.

The TTC serves as the operator for Line 6 Finch West, bringing more than a century of expertise as North America’s third busiest public transit agency.
