A lot has been said, and written, about the proposed Lawrence East SmartTrack station in Scarborough. During that time, Lawrence East was the closest transit station to my house. Lawrence East, with one single bus line connection, attracted only 8,130. And Chester, served by zero bus connections, is among the TTC’s least-used stations, serving only 7,700 per day — less than Lawrence East SRT! My sense, based not on expertise but on experience, is that the potential usefulness — and business — of a station like Lawrence East will depend directly on those two things.
