Between Donlands and Greenwood stations is a full, grade-separated, double-track, underground wye junction, allowing trains from either direction to enter and exit Greenwood Yard via the Greenwood Portal. The yard is the TTC's second largest, and is located at ground level on the west side of Greenwood Avenue north of Gerrard Street East.
Greenwood Yard is located south of the station with access from a tunnel.
Nearby landmarks include St. Patrick's Catholic Secondary School and Danforth Collegiate and Technical Institute.
In June 2010 the TTC announced plans to add second exits to 3 subway stations on the Bloor-Danforth line. These exits were recommended after a fire safety audit due the stations only having one primary means of emergency access/egress.[1]
The planned construction would see a new exit only structure built at surface level on Strathmore Blvd. In order to build the exits the TTC plans to expropriate residential land and demolish a home in the area.[2] This decision has proved controversial in the neighborhoods affected and after some public outcry the TTC has stated that they will review their plans.[3]
