Building Description
For the first time ever, public are invited to take a peek behind the doors of the Eglinton Maintenance and Storage Facility (EMSF). It houses the Crosstown Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs) where they are inspected, cleaned and maintained. Construction on the facility began in 2016, and was completed in October 2018. Light rail vehicles began to arrive in January 2019. The facility will initially be home to 76 light rail vehicles, with capacity to store 135 as service levels increase to meet future demand. The main building is built to LEED Silver certification, and includes high energy and water efficiency, green roofs, solar reflective paving, and vehicle charging stations for electric vehicles.

Come by for a tour of this world class facility, step into a brand new light rail vehicle and check out the evolution of the Crosstown project through an interactive display! UrbanArts has partnered with Crosslinx Transit Solutions to provide interactive programming and entertainment in the main parking lot of the facility.

Couldn't they combine parts of the 27 JANE SOUTH, 71 RUNNYMEDE and 171 MOUNT DENNIS along Lambton Avenue into one route? Until the Eglinton West LRT extension? Just brainstorming.

From link. That's similar to the route the 35 JANE used to take, before the EGLINTON WEST bus was extended westward. This map from 1958.

Keep the 171 MT. DENNIS and 71 RUNNYMEDE as shown, but reroute the 27 JANE SOUTH along Lambton Avenue. The 195 JANE EXPRESS would stay as suggested.

Note, the OAKWOOD streetcar looped at Gilbert Avenue (where the CALEDONIA STATION would be with the Eglinton Crosstown LRT) on Eglinton Avenue West, where zone 1 bordered zone 2.
