Eglinton-Crosstown LRT EA Open Houses
August 19 update: the presentation materials are are now available. Click here to see them (1.5 Mb). I stopped by the open house in Leaside tonight and there was a good turn out. Steve Munro has written a good summary of the materials on his site, so I won’t post a repeat of what he had to say.
I did hand in comments encouraging flexible connections with the other TC lines (Jane, Don Mills, and Scarborough-Malvern) as eventually usage patterns will make certain interlining possibilities a necessity, at least during rush hours.
I also encouraged careful consideration of potential connections with GO transit near Weston Road (Georgetown line), Caledonia (Barrie line), and east of the 404 (Richmond Hill line). I strongly suspect that some, if not all, potential GO stations may become reality even before the LRT construction is completed.
