Toronto Crosstown LRT: Eglinton Station | ?m | 1s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

[The Preservationist]

Is there any intention of Metrolinx providing an opening date for the Eglinton crosstown, or is that a 13 billion dollar question the public isn't supposed to ask?

Why is it so high though

I'm not really sure about that but it's for the tunnel and not the station, it's in case there is a fire in the tunnel and they can use it to remove smoke and air from the fire.

It's what on the "other" side of the "ceiling, floor, wall", basically stuff we can't see, I'm want to know if that is finished or not.

I answered that one here:

It's a ventilation shaft. I remember asking the Crosstown team about this and they insisted it couldn't be accommodated under the roadway (such as those you'll see on Spadina Rd) and so there's a small median structure on the North side of the intersection.

Can we sneak a peak at the connection to the Line 5's Eglinton Station? How about during "Open Doors 2023"?

Maybe Doug Ford could grab and push a broom to clean the place up, since that's all he's qualified to do.

If you mean the extended Line 1 platform, then I was just there and can confirm that it's mostly open now. Still some parts blocked off, but it's navigable.
