Open House on New LRV Maintenance Facility
A comment was left by “Andrea N” on the “Eglinton-Crosstown LRT Open Houses” topic that reminded me that I had missed posting about open houses for the LRV maintenance facility to be constructed in the portlands for the new streetcar fleet. I have moved the comment to this post and it appears below.
The third open house will be held tonight (June 18) at 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm at the Fire & EMS Academy at 895 Eastern Avenue. For more details on this, see this page.
Here is the comment:
Highly oppose the depot for the Light Rail Transit at Eastern Ave.
Out of 6 locations (5 south of Lakeshore), the Eastern Avenue depot is the only one that is within 100 metres of residential housing. The options being considered have now (in the 4 days since I received the notice in the mail) been narrowed to 3. One of these options continues to be the Eastern Avenue location. The TTC is looking to rush this decision to the City Council meeting in July.
Please go to the June 18 meeting (6:30pm) at the EMS training center 895 Eastern Ave (East of Leslie at Knox) to get educated and hopefully you’ll agree to oppose the Eastern Avenue location
