Eglinton Avenue started life as the third concession road north of Queen Street, well into the hinterland surrounding the old Town of York. Initially, the street did not run further than Jane in the west, and Laird Drive in the east, as the Humber and Don river valleys presented considerable barriers. West of the Humber River, the corresponding con...
On November 19, 1924, service began on the OAKWOOD streetcar, built by the TTC at the behest of the Township of York. Streetcars started from a loop at Gilbert Avenue and ran east along Eglinton and south on Oakwood to loop at St. Clair. Bus services started up along Eglinton Avenue soon thereafter, with the EGLINTON bus serving the North Toronto n...
Eglinton Avenue had already seen plans for streetcar and trolley bus services in the 1940s, 50s, and early 1960s. The TTC’s plan for subway lines in 1942 proposed streetcar subways beneath Queen and Bay/Yonge streets. The Bay/Yonge streetcar subway would rise to the surface near the entrance to Mount Pleasant Cemetery, and follow the Belt Line trac...
In 1984, Metropolitan Toronto and the TTC released the Network 2011 proposal for subway development. It called for a busway beneath or paralleling Eglinton Avenue from Eglinton West station to the Mississauga border. This busway, which would open to the public after the first phase of the SHEPPARD subway and the Downtown Relief Line, would then be ...
In March 2007, the City of Toronto, led by Mayor David Miller and TTC Chairman Adam Giambrone, proposed a program of rapid transit extensions that they called Transit City. Responding to the fact that the high cost of subway construction made subway expansion slow to a series of fits and starts, and that the high-tech linear induction model of the ...
As engineering and design work began on the newly underground stretch between Brentcliffe and Kennedy, physical work continued on the already-approved tunnel section between Black Creek and Brentcliffe. Four tunnel boring machines (TBMs) were bought for a total of $54 million. As per tradition, these machines were named after a naming contest organ...
While this work was being done beneath Eglinton, in Toronto City Council, dissension was brewing. More councillors grew concerned over the high cost and wastefulness of building the whole EGLINTON-CROSSTOWN LRT underground. TTC Chair Karen Stintz noted that, as an all-underground operation, it made more sense to build the line as a subway instead, ...
Council’s support for the original Transit City proposal did not last. Early in 2013, TTC Chair Karen Stintz and Scarborough councillor Glenn De Baeremaeker proposed the One City rapid transit expansion plan. Rather than support the second phase of Metrolinx’s construction program, the proposal called for a number of subway extensions throughout th...
While all of these debates were happening, work continued on the EGLINTON-CROSSTOWN line itself. Workers began excavating or building the 25 stations along the line. Station work started with a ground-breaking ceremony at the site of Keelesdale station on March 10, 2016. The old Kodak employees recreation centre near Eglinton and Black Creek was te...
Another issue that materialized was the delivery of the line’s LRT vehicles. Bombardier had been commissioned to build the light rail vehicles to ply the line as early as 2009, when the order was paired with the TTC’s order of customized Flexity LRVs to operate on the legacy streetcar system. When Metrolinx took over the construction and ownership ...
