Tributes to Honest Ed's
On November 1, 2016, a temporary tribute to the Honest Ed's discount store was installed at Bathurst station in response to the store's impending closure.

This tribute remained in place until the store's final day of operation on December 31, 2016.The TTC later installed a permanent tribute to Honest Ed's on the station's concourse level. This tribute comprises five vertical panels and a trompe-l'œil mural on opposite walls. The panels showcase photographs, storefront signs, and other memorabilia related to the store.
