Eglinton Crosstown West Extension - Spring/Summer 2020
This information is archived.
Please review the participation opportunities page for the most recent information on the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension project.
We are doing our part to protect staff and the public during the COVID-19 virus.
Our team is continuing to support our residents, business and communities. During this time, our upcoming open houses have moved to a virtual format - see the Get Engaged page.
The proposed Eglinton Crosstown West Extension will bring even more rapid transit to Etobicoke and Mississauga to make it easier for people to get where they need to be each day.
The proposed extension of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT will run 9.2 kilometres from the future Mount Dennis LRT station to Renforth Drive and will operate mainly underground, helping to reduce travel times and improve access to jobs, schools and other destinations throughout the Greater Toronto Area.
Metrolinx and Infrastructure Ontario are working together to deliver the project, which is estimated to be complete by 2030-31.
Ask a question, view the forum, and find out about our upcoming open houses.
Where will it take me?
The proposed extension will offer convenient links to other destinations throughout the region – UP Express and Kitchener Line GO Train service at Mount Dennis, TTC bus services at all transit stops in Toronto, and MiWay and GO Bus services via the Mississauga Transitway at Renforth Drive.
Plans are also being explored with the Greater Toronto Airports Authority to extend the line another 4.7 kilometres to Pearson International Airport.
All alignments, stations, stops, locations, names and quantity of stations/stops are conceptual and subject to change.

Faster and More Convenient Travel
The proposed Eglinton Crosstown West Extension will improve travel times between key regional destinations.

Next Steps
The Initial Business Case was released in February, 2020. Planning for the project continues, including due diligence work, further refining the design and engineering work and seeking environmental approvals.
Metrolinx is also continuing to explore plans with the Greater Toronto Airports Authority to extend the line to Pearson International Airport.
Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and Metrolinx have issued two Requests for Qualifications (RFQs) for advance tunnelling work on the Scarborough Subway Extension and the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension - the first phase of work for the two projects.
Stay tuned to this page for future project updates.
