As filed

On the agenda
As the city filed it
The Eglinton Crosstown LRT is scheduled to be completed in 2022. One of the stops is located at Wynford Drive. The stop is on a bridge, with Wynford Drive passing underneath. Almost all of the thousands of residents in this community will have to climb a set of stairs to access the station - this is currently the only public access from Wynford. This will create significant challenges to all, but especially to those with mobility issues.
