Crosstown LRT | Metrolinx

[max]

I thought the last we heard in October 2020 was they'd open the full line except for Eglinton station in March 2022, and open the new platforms in May 2022, and the connections from Line 5 to Line 1 in September 2022.

When did it slip?

That was never happening as Crosslinx only floated it publicly without Metrolinx agreeing to it. Metrolinx subsequently declared it to be unacceptable: https://www.cp24.com/news/crosslinx...n-crosstown-lrt-without-key-station-1.5129751

Ah interesting. So opening almost all of it in March 2022, with the final station opening in May and some pedestrian connections in September is bad. But opening it all at once in September is good?

It doesn't feel like Metrolinx is putting passengers first.

Unfortunately with Metrolinx lately I always think of a quote by a former US President, "Great idea, ............doesn't work!"
