On the agenda

As the city filed it

The construction of the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (ECLRT) has caused significant pavement degradation along Eglinton Avenue. While Metrolinx's contractor Crosslinx Transit Solutions (CTS) is tasked with restoring pavement at the tunnelled stations and the at-grade section, the City is responsible for road restoration of sections between the tunnelled stations. Despite not being directly impacted by construction, these roadway sections have experienced deterioration due to influx of heavy construction traffic and maintenance delays attributable to the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit project.
