Summerhill (Ttc)Summerhill is a station on the Yonge-University Spadina line of the Toronto subway. It is located at 1189 Yonge Street at Shaftesbury Avenue, near Summerhill Avenue. It opened in 1954. The only bus route that serves Summerhill is the 97 Yonge. The tunnel originally ended at Summerhill Avenue, immediately beyond Summerhill station; the line continued in open cut as far as Pleasant Boulevard, just before the next station. Various sections of this open cut were roofed over as the years passed, and since the early 1980s it has been entirely under cover (except when one block was opened out and re-covered, to allow new construction above it). Passengers who look out into the tunnel on this section can still see the sloping sides of the original cut, the stumps of lamp posts, and the undersides of four road bridges.
