For the second day in a row, Broadview Station is out of commission.
Yesterday, the Line 2 station was shut down for just under five hours while police looked into a suspicious package was left in the vicinity.
Shuttle buses had to operate between Castle Frank and Pape stations, bypassing Broadview while the package was investigated.

Yesterday's package was determined to not be a threat to public safety, but the police believe it was meant to stir a reaction.
Another day, another suspicious package at Broadview. Land of 1000 headaches! I feel for the #TTC staff who have to deal with all kinds of problems, especially when an idiot or two can cause such havoc.

.....also I’m grateful that I can walk to work
Police have identified 53-year-old Kamal Badri as a suspect in yesterday's. He has now been taken into custody by police.
Update:

- road closures in the area, and no access to Broadview subway
