That’s unfortunate not everyone can use it to cross Eglinton.

They've moved the fencing closer to the building at Leaside Station, too. Taken this morning
Edit: adding more photos taken after work of Leaside and Laird stations in those threads. Fences are moved/gone at 3/4 entrance buildings

Would it be fair to say the Eglinton LRT will not be opening in 2025? especially considering Finch West LRT won't open until December 7 and following this we head into the holiday season.

Finch West LRT could open Dec. 7, sources say
Ontario government officials say the Line 6 Finch West LRT will be fully transferred to the TTC by Nov. 3.

Honestly, there's probably an internal desire to open the Eglinton LRT this year for optics purposes.
Continually pushing it to next year doesn't look good on anyone. Opening Line 6 before Line 5 will also raise alot more questions than answers.
Now having said that nothing would surprise me at this point.

The second phase of the REM in Montreal will open end of November. It started roughly the same time as this line did. The optics of this, plus Finch cannot be good.

I think the TYSSE opened on Dec. 17, so it may not matter much regarding the holiday season.

Yes but the Subway is underground, the LRT is not. I doubt they would want the thing to be hindered by a bit of snow during a media event.

They would pick an underground station like Mount Dennis, Eglinton or Kennedy Station to do that. For Line 6, they can pick Finch West Station.

Agreed but even doing that.. you need trains. Can you imagine the press if the trains were delayed 30 minutes due to snow on the line?

They have removed all the fencing around the Chaplin and Avenue stations over the last couple days. I take it as a good sign.

Just park one there. Since when the politicians or Metrolinx care so much about the press/transparency?

The only issue with Finch West LRT is that people are saying that the TTC doesn't have enough lead time to prepare the schedules and all the maneuvering that entails.
But with Eglinton, there's already a lot of visible effort to get the schedule ready. I'd think they could be ready for Dec 7 if the Crosstown was handed over to them in November. Though there's the added complication of opening both at the same time.
