METROLINX
This light-rail transit line will run along Toronto’s Eglinton Avenue
between Mount Dennis (Weston Road) and Kennedy Station. Part
of the Government of Ontario’s light-rail transit plan for the city,
this 19-kilometre corridor will include an 11-kilometre underground
portion between Keele Street and Laird Drive. When running at
street level, the line will carry passengers in dedicated right-of-way
transit lanes separate from regular traffic with priority signaling at
intersections. Travelling at an average speed of 28 km/h, it will link
to 54 bus routes, three subway stations, and various GO Transit lines.
The capacity of the LRT vehicles is 15,000 passengers per hour per
direction, with the flexibility to easily remove or add cars.
