Mount Pleasant is a future metro station in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It will be a stop on the future Line 5 Eglinton on the Toronto subway system. It will be located in North Toronto at the intersection of Mount Pleasant Road and Eglinton Avenue. It is scheduled to open in 2021.
Uniquely in the TTC system, this underground station's main entrance will occupy the site of a former commercial building preserving only its façade. The building is on the northwest corner of Mount Pleasant Road and Eglinton. A secondary entrance will be just east of Mount Pleasant on the north side, replacing two small commercial buildings. A vent shaft will issue from the station just behind Eglinton Public School by Brownlow Avenue.
The main entrance of the station at 256-258 Eglinton Avenue East was the location of a former branch of the Imperial Bank of Canada in a building designed by architect Herbert Horner in 1928. The south-east corner of the building eventually became a Second Cup coffee shop. Metrolinx had the building's façade disassembled brick-by-brick, cataloged, labelled and stored for reassembly upon completion of station structure.
Destinations include Northern Secondary School, and the Davisville Village neighbourhood.
In a report to the TTC Board on November 23, 2015, it was recommended that stations on Line 5 Eglinton should be given unique names.
The following routes would serve this station according to the report presented at the board meeting on February 25, 2016:
