While much headway has been made toward opening Toronto's Eglinton Crosstown LRT in September as expected, it's starting to look like the 13.5-year-long project may be delayed even further as we get closer to the fall. Prior to that big announcement, signage had already appeared along Eglinton explaining that bus stops were being "updated in preparation for" the LRT's inauguration, and TTC staff were re-deployed and re-trained along the route. There is also the fact that some further stress-testing was likely needed to reach that "stability" point from which the above steps could begin. Then, there are potential hiccups to consider — and the Crosstown, until now, has had many of them. "The trend line is good, but it is always subject to revision depending on what we find through systems testing."
