Long-delayed Eglinton LRT to begin month-long final test, Metrolinx CEO says
September 29, 2025
The head of Metrolinx, Ontario’s regional public-transit agency, has said Toronto’s long-delayed Eglinton Crosstown light-rail transit line could begin a final, 30-day dress-rehearsal test this week – but he still would not commit to a concrete opening date.
In an interview with The Globe and Mail on Monday, Metrolinx CEO Michael Lindsay said his agency and the Toronto Transit Commission, which will operate the 19-kilometre line, are finalizing plans to start what they call a “revenue-service demonstration” as early as this week – five years after the troubled line, hampered by technical glitches and litigation, was supposed to open.

Ontario is facing a shortfall of nearly $2-billion to maintain the $10-a-day child-care program next year, and fees may have to go up without additional funding from the province or the federal government, according to a new report on the Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care program from the provincial Auditor-General. The province’s agreement with Ottawa expires March 31. With six months to go, Ontario has not yet signed an extension, although it has agreed to an extension in principle.
