Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit - Project Update and Consultations

Another round of open houses for the Eglinton Transit City project. Our local open house id the last of these, December 10th, at Beth Shalom Temple -- just a short ways from Eglinton West station.

The City of Toronto and TTC are pleased to be hosting seven Open Houses across the study corridor for the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit Project.  Please see the attached notice for details.

At the Open Houses,  staff will present the preferred design for both the underground and street level segments of the line. For the street level segments, final stop locations and traffic management strategies to provide fast and reliable LRT service will be displayed.

All Open Houses will be held from 6:30pm to 9:00pm.  Details are as follows:

Following the last round of consultation, public feedback and additional analysis, some key improvements have been made. The proposed station at Brentcliffe has been relocated to Laird Drive to best serve the Leaside Community.  Furthermore, the design for the surface section of the line west of Keele Street  has been updated to maintain a series of left hand turns from a number of north-south streets onto Eglinton. Please see the attached notice for more information.

Public Consultation Reports from previous Open Houses  are posted on the project website. Please visit www.toronto.ca/transitcity and click on "Eglinton Crosstown LRT". The reports are located at the bottom of the page.
