| This one storey, masonry and concrete streetcar maintenance facility and general repair shops was named after D.W. Harvey, who was the General Manager of the TTC from 1924 to 1938. Harvey Shops is located at the TTC's historic Hillcrest complex and opened in 1923. This property was once home to the Hillcrest Race Track. It is now one of the TTC's major maintenance garages where highly skilled employees maintain and repair the TTC's fleet of buses and streetcars. |
