What subway did Ford fill in? It's Premier's McGuinty, Harris, and Miller who have cancelled in-construction or close to construction lines.

I think it's a culmination of a few things. As much maligned as Metrolinx is, it is the catalyst for getting projects started again in Toronto after a long drought. It started with the previous Liberals, but to his credit Ford didn't take an anti transit stance like many conservative leaders across North America. He's been fairly supportive as conservatives go

Mike Harris, a PC Premier canceled the Eglinton Subway in 1995.

Eglinton LRT next update will come in "Late January", probably looking at March at the earliest at this point I imagine.
"However it eventually became clear it would not open by the end of 2026."
LINE NOT OPENING UNTIL 2027 - might as well wait a couple more years and open it up alongside the EG LRT W Extension lol

Eglinton Crosstown update will come late January, Chow says; no opening before then
Toronto residents will get an update in late January on the status of the long-delayed Eglinton Crosstown, Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow says, but the line won’t open before then.

I'm fairly certain "it would not open by the end of 2026" is a typo.

Genuinely can't believe another year has gone by without an opening date announcement. It really seemed like 2025 would be the year 
Isn't there a 90 day deadline to get the LRT open after substantial completion? I remember reading something like that a while ago, but I can't seem to find anything about it anymore

It seems like the opening of this line is in a perpetual 3 months away.
At least the West extension is visbile moving ahead at a good pace, still shocked it will not open until 2031

I'm ready to eat my words if this opens by 2029
Until then I want whatever copium you're on. Has Metrolinx ever delivered a project on-time? Much less early?

the geniuses running the city had years to get organized about TSP. yet they wait for Finch to go be a disaster before addressing it. they have known based on the thousands of miles of testing what the impact of not having TSP is.
how quickly can it realistically be enabled?

Which line did Miller cancel? I only know of him proposing terrible ones.

New frontpage storey on Line 5, and the steaming pile of LRT that it will almost certainly be upon opening.

Eglinton Line 5: On Track to Fail? | UrbanToronto
Toronto’s long-awaited LRT line, Eglinton Line 5, is all but guaranteed to open within the next few months after 15 long years of construction. With anticipation building and more than $12 billion sunk into the project, a question looms over an undertaking that has dominated the city’s...

A half elevated half tunneled LRT running from Renforth to Weston before the actual Line 5 opens would be hilarious. A true Ford Express if there ever was one.

It’s true that they need to open it within 30 days, it’s explicitly stated in the project agreementGenuinely can't believe another year has gone by without an opening date announcement. It really seemed like 2025 would be the year
