Document Summary:
This report provides a value for money assessment for the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT) project.
Document Details:
The Eglinton Crosstown is a light rail transit line that will run across Eglinton Avenue in Toronto between Mount Dennis (Weston Road) and Kennedy Station. The 19-kilometre corridor will include a 10-kilometre underground portion between Keele Street and Laird Drive. The LRT will have 25 stations and stops, linking to
bus routes, three subway stations and various GO Transit lines. The LRT is a significant provincial investment in support of Metrolinx’s Regional Transportation Plan for the
Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). It is a signature transit project in the Toronto area that will offer new reliable transit to Toronto residents, integrate transit services, help manage congestion, connect people to jobs and improve the economy and residents’ quality of life.
