If your commute starts at Pape and Danforth, the only subway you’ll have access to next week is the sandwich shop around the corner.

The TTC is closing the station Monday for 12 days, from Aug. 19 to 30, to speed up a facelift that’s been in the works for three years.

Customers have long shared subway and bus platform space with hoarding, the big boards blocking off construction, and it’s “not a pleasant environment,” said TTC spokeswoman Anna Pace. That should be over with soon.

From where to catch the bus to the nearest Timmies, here are the answers to your burning questions.

What if I have to get off the subway at Pape station?

No dice. All trains will go through, but you’ll have to get out at either Chester or Donlands and do the two- to three-minute walk — or catch a bus at Broadview or Donlands.

How do I get to the subway?

If you’re heading west, catch the 72 Pape bus to Broadview at a temporary stop on the east side of Pape Ave., south of Danforth. If you’re eastbound, take the 81 to Donlands, at a temporary stop on the northwest corner of the intersection on Pape Ave. near Lipton Ave.

Where can I catch my bus in the opposite direction?

Catch the southbound 72 across from Pape station, and the northbound 81 right outside the station, but read carefully because some 81 buses will short-turn at O’Connor Dr.

What will they do during the closure?

They’ll be revamping the ceilings, walls, floors and stairs. New glass walls will go up in the bus waiting area, but customers won’t yet have full use of the platform, and most hoarding will be down.

An elevator, garden and bike rack should be finished by October, and a second exit at the east end of the platforms by December.

What are the bus detours?

The 81 Thorncliffe Park route will run down Pape, then east across the Danforth to Donlands. The northbound 72 Pape bus will turn west along the Danforth, making stops at Chester and Broadview, before heading north on Mortimer Ave., then south on Pape along the normal route.

The 25 Don Mills bus will run down Donlands Ave. and stop at Donlands station.

What about the Timmies?

It used to be in a trailer, but the Pape Tim Hortons is back in the station. “As far as we know they are planning to stay open through the closure period,” said Pace.

Why is it taking so long?

It’s a very complex project that had some unexpected underground conditions, said Pace. “We’re trying to balance doing the work that’s necessary to improve the station with providing service to our customers.”
