Forest Hill station (Toronto)

During the planning stages for Line 5 Eglinton, the station was given the working name Bathurst, which is identical to the pre-existing Bathurst station on Line 2 Bloor–Danforth. In 2015, a report to the TTC Board recommended giving a unique name to each station in the subway system (including Line 5 Eglinton). As the station was located in the Forest Hill neighbourhood, the alternate name of Forest Hill was chosen. ==Construction==

A small plaza at the northeast corner of the Eglinton and Bathurst intersection, that used to house several businesses including a coffee shop and convenience store, was demolished to make way for the main station entrance. At 874–876 Eglinton Avenue West, three storefronts were demolished to build the secondary entrance building. One of these businesses, the House of Chan, a Chinese-Canadian restaurant, was a local landmark that needed to relocate. == Architecture and artwork ==

The station was designed by Dialog and Arcadis, following an architectural concept designed by architects gh3* from Toronto and Daoust Lestage Lizotte Stecker from Montreal. As with other stations on Line 5, architectural features include natural light from large windows and skylights, steel structures painted white, and orange accents (the colour of the line). == Surface connections ==
