Went to Metrolinx's Eglinton Crosstown LRT website ( https://www.metrolinx.com/en/projects-and-programs/eglinton-crosstown-lrt ), and so far nothing "official" about Line 5 opening. As at 14:28, on February 4, 2026. Under "Notices", last entry was dated "December 8, 2025".

Meanwhile, the former Line 3, now busway, is aiming for a September 2026 opening. The other Line 3 (AKA Ontario Line) has a opening range of "early 2030s", which means "late 2030s".

Useful when the elevator (or escalator) is out-of-service due to maintenance or mischief.

I remember in the 1960s during rush hour, seeing the Bloor streetcar trains (two PCC streetcars) closing their doors, and as the traffic signals turn yellow, the train starts to cross the intersection, and the rear car is still in the intersection as the signal turns red. The cross traffic would...
