Finch West is a proposed station of the Yonge-University Spadina line of the subway in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, to be built on its western branch, the Spadina line. If built, it would be located on Keele Street at Finch Avenue West, and it's expected to open in early 2015.

Nearby landmarks currently include Fountainhead Park and the commercial strip along Keele Street. Industrial lands lie to the east, and York University is to the northwest.

The station is proposed to be built underground and parallel to Keele Street. The line is proposed to continue from Sheppard West station, curving northward to align with Keele.

ubway extension

The Toronto Transit Commission has conducted the environmental assessment (see official link below) for the project to extend the Spadina line north from Downsview through this station to York University, Steeles Avenue and Vaughan Corporate Centre. The governments of Ontario and Canada have each pledged $670 million of funding for its construction. The City of Toronto and the TTC have indicated their concerns about lacking funding to operate the subway once it is built. According to the "Globe and Mail" newspaper (March 23, 2006), real estate development companies belonging to the family of former Finance Minister Greg Sorbara own the properties just south of the intersection of Finch Avenue West and Keele Street, according to land registry documents and corporate records. Sorbara is the Liberal Member of Provincial Parliament for Vaughan.

Transit City proposal

The Transit City proposal calls for a new LRT line known as the Etobicoke-Finch West LRT line, running along Finch Avenue West from Humber College to Finch Station, passing through Finch West Station on the way.
