Ossington is a subway station onLine 2 Bloor–Danforth of theToronto subway inToronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located atOssington Avenue just north ofBloor Street West and opened in 1966 as part of the original segment of the subway line.
The main station entrance is on the west side of Ossington Avenue, just north of Bloor. In December 2016, elevators were installed at this station, thus making Ossington station a fully accessible station. There is a second automatic entrance, with entry only byPresto card, on Delaware Avenue, beside a TTCelectrical substation.[2]
As part of the 2016 renovation, the station acquired the artworkOssington Particles by Scott Eunson.[3] The artwork uses 800 stick-on coloured acrylic tiles arranged in clusters near stairways on the platform and mezzanine levels.[4] Plaques in the station provide an artist's message: "The Particles inhabit the tile grid of Ossington Station to tell a story of the natural and human history of this site, mapping the localGarrison Creek watershed and recalling the ancient landscape and geology of this neighborhood."[5]
