Everything about North York Centre totally explained
North York Centre is the name of the district in
Toronto,
Ontario,
Canada, surrounding the
Toronto Transit Commission subway station of the same name.
The subway station is the second last stop on the TTC's
Yonge subway line, just before
Finch Station. Although the subway to Finch had been opened in 1974, North York Centre station opened in 1987 to serve the growing downtown core of the former City of
North York. North York was merged with five other municipalities and a regional government to form the new "City of Toronto" in 1998.
The Yonge corridor between Finch and Sheppard Avenues grew extensively after the opening of the subway station. To relieve pressure on downtown Toronto, the Official Plan for
Metropolitan Toronto encouraged densification at North York Centre (and other suburban centres) permitting high rise
condominium towers and office buildings.
The
North York Centre subway station is accessed through the basement levels of the two shopping malls at the intersection of Yonge Street and Empress Avenue;
Empress Walk and North York Centre.
The
North York Civic Centre (formerly North York City Hall) contains City of Toronto offices, and faces onto
Mel Lastman Square on the west side of
Yonge Street.
The station serves
Earl Haig Secondary School (two blocks east), the adjacent
North York Central Library, as well as the Empress Walk shopping centre with a movie theatre (above) and a stage theatre (the
Toronto Centre for the Arts, three blocks south).
A 2001 Census showed that the average household income is approximately $78 000, with a
disposable income of $48 000. It is projected that by the year 2011, the average household income will reach $97 000, with a disposable income of $62 000. http://riocan.creedsolutions.com/demographics/223B.pdf
