Residents and Businesses throughout the City of Toronto living along 19 kilometres of Eglinton Avenue have been enduring over 11 years of hardship due to construction of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT. They have suffered incredible disruption and unmanageable traffic and safety issues as well as greatly reduced customer traffic, loss of revenue and in many cases business closure. Despite repeated calls by City Council demanding greater transparency and accountability, Metrolinx remains silent to explain the repeated delays, cost overruns and now is incapable of even setting a new forecasted completion date. This Motion calls upon City Council to once again request Metrolinx and the Provincial Minster of Transportation to appear before the Executive Committee to publically report on the status of the project as well as funding various initiatives to compensate the residents and businesses from the negative impacts that they continue to experience with no end in sight.
