We are recommending that the bus service on Eglinton Avenue be replaced with modern electrically-powered light rail vehicles. Within the central section between Brentcliffe Road (which is just west of Leslie St.) to a point between Jane and Keele Streets, the light rail vehicles would operate underground. TTC is proposing an underground LRT through this section because the width of Eglinton Avenue is too narrow to accommodate LRT. For the rest of Eglinton Avenue, the light rail vehicles would operate at surface, in dedicated transit lanes separated from traffic. The proposed light rail transit would provide a fast, reliable, and comfortable way to travel on Eglinton Avenue and support the growth management objectives of the Official Plan. Previous Consultation (2008) Please contact us to be placed on project mailing/e-mail list to receive future updates: |
