User:Geo Swan/Coxwell streetcar

The Toronto Transit Commission operated a Coxwell streetcar route from Coxwell and Queen to Coxwell and Danforth, from 1921 to 1966.

In The TTC Story: The First Seventy-Five Years Mike Filey wrote that the Coxwell route was the Toronto Transportation Commission's first new route.

One of the TTC's Carbarns was built at the corner of Coxwell and Danforth.

In the 1990s, when the TTC embraced the idea of introducing new streetcar lines, and replacing bus routes with restored streetcar routes, they studied the costs of turning some downtown bus routes to streetcar routes. Because portions of Coxwell still retained streetcar tracks, and caternary wires to supply power, the Coxwell route would have been the cheapest to return to using streetcar vehicles. But it was decided ridership would not justify the expense.
