The Eglinton Crosstown Line will run for 19km (12mi) from Black Creek Drive to Kennedy Station. There will be up to 25 stations, with an estimated 100 million trips annually in 2031.
History
Concept
The Eglinton Crosstown Line was conceived as the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, a partially underground light rail line, announced in 2007 by Toronto Mayor David Miller and TTC chair Adam Giambrone. It was part of the Transit City plan, which included the implementation of six other light rail lines across Toronto. The original version of the line would have run from Pearson Airport along Silver Dart Road to Convair Drive. The line would have then turned southwest, to a bridge over Highway 401 to reach Commerce Boulevard on the other side, where it would run south to reach Eglinton Avenue and the east end of the Mississauga Transitway. The rest of the line would run east along Eglinton Avenue, including a portion along which the proposed Eglinton West subway line would have been built. The line would then cut across the city, connecting with the Yonge-University and Bloor-Danforth subways, and with the Scarborough RT.
Metrolinx CEO Phil Verster has promised to give 3 months' notice before the opening of the Eglinton Crosstown. Metrolinx says significant progress has been made to the LRT when it comes to testing and construction.
