. It was opened in 1966 and is located at 420 Bloor Street
East at Sherbourne Street. The station primarily serves the St. James Town neighbourhood, as well as the southern portion of the Rosedale
neighbourhood.

The adjacent bridge that takes Bloor Street across the ravine, although built with provision for a lower deck as part of the Prince Edward Viaduct
project, is at an angle to the general line of Bloor Street and the subway could not conveniently use it. A conventional bridge was planned for the subway line, with a view of the ravine, but local objections forced the Toronto Transit Commission to enclose it in a concrete shell for noise abatement.
