Infrastructure work at St. Clair and St. Clair West stations have temporarily pulled streetcars from service and replaced by buses for the remainder of the year.
The Toronto Transit Commission said the work at the stations includes installation of a new roof and replacement of the streetcar loading platform at St. Clair station, construction of new elevators and streetcar track replacement at St. Clair West station.
