EARLIER REPORT:

In a social media post at 2:47 p.m. Sunday, police said officers were on scene investigating an unattended package at track level.
Riders were being urged to consider alternate routes.
The TTC was advising of no service on Line 1 Yonge-University between College and St. Clair due to a "security incident." Shuttle buses are on the way, the transit agency said.
A section of the Yonge-University subway line was already closed this weekend from St. Clair West to King for planned track work.
