Requesting Metrolinx to Provide Transparency and Accountability on the Eglinton Crosstown
Background
“In recent news that the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail transit won’t open in 2024 is yet another disappointing setback for the many Torontoians that live and work along the line that is al least a billion dollars over budget and has delays for years…Residents and businesses along 19 kilometres of Eglinton Avenue hav ebeen enduring over 12 years of hardship due to the endless construction…Despite repeated calls by City Council demanding greater transparency and accountability, Metorlinx continues to refuse to explain the repeated delays, cost overruns and won’t even set a forecasted completion date.”
