Bayview is a station on the Sheppard line of the subway system in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located at 550 Sheppard Avenue East at Bayview Avenue. It was opened in 2002.

Nearby landmarks include the Bayview Village Shopping Centre and the Kenaston Gardens YMCA (which has an entrance directly adjacent to the station). There is no indoor access to the subway from either Bayview Village or the YMCA.

[edit] Public art

The public art installed in this station are various perspective-cheating trompe l'oeil illustrations on the walls and the floors by Toronto artist Panya Clark Espinal. (See examples [1] and [2]).

[edit] Bus terminal and surface connections

Bayview station does not have an integrated bus terminal, but it is served by the 11 Bayview and 85 Sheppard East buses directly outside the station. A transfer is needed to connect to both of these routes.

[edit] Future expansion

No plans for future expansion are in the works. Access or link to Bayview Village is the only likely candidate for the growth of the station. The station is too close to Sheppard and Yonge to warrant a bus terminal at this time.
