North York Centre is a metro station on Line 1 Yonge-University of the Toronto rapid transit system. The station is located under Yonge Street, where it is intersected by Park Home Avenue and Empress Avenue. The station, the system's first and only infill station, opened in 1987 to serve North York Centre, a high density business district in the Willowdale neighbourhood. Wi-Fi service is available at this station.HistoryNorth York Centre opened in 1987 in what was then the City of North York as an infill station to the Yonge-University line.This station was added by excavating alongside the existing tracks, on a level section of route provided for this purpose when the line was built. The view across the tracks between platforms is not as open as most stations, as the solid concrete wall had to retain its load-bearing strength, and smaller openings were cut.In late 2007 the TTC began work to make the station accessible to those with limited mobility, and in November 2009 the work was completed. Two elevators were installed to take passengers from mezzanine level to the subway platforms. Persons in wheelchairs or with other mobility restrictions are now able to enter from street level by way of existing facilities in the major buildings on both sides of the station.In early 2016 wifi was installed to the station.in late 2016 presto was installed at the fare gates the old gate were removed.The elevators and automatic entrances will have presto in early 2017.
