Construction has officially kicked off for a key subway station in Toronto that the provincial government is calling a "game-changer" for Scarborough residents. Work at the future site of Scarborough Centre Station is now underway north of Ellesmere Road between Brimley and McCowan Roads. The first stages of construction now unfolding involve the drilling of piles around the station site in advance of upcoming excavation work. "The Scarborough Subway Extension will be a gamechanger for the people of Scarborough, making it easier than ever before for commuters to get around quickly and conveniently," said Prabmeet Sarkaria, Minister of Transportation. "This new station will move tens of thousands of people each day, helping them connect to subway trains on the new Scarborough Subway Extension and buses that reach every corner of our city."
