For those wondering, the video starts at the Laird portal, the first surface stop is Sunnybrook Park at Leslie Street (0:22). The line enters the underground portal for Science Center Station at 0:38 and emerges on the other side at Aga Khan Station at 0:55. The remaining station timestamps: Wynford - 1:06 Sloane (No Platforms) - 1:28 Holding Track and Crossover - 1:33 O'Connor - 1:41 Pharmacy - 1:50 Hakimi Lebovic - 1:57 Golden Mile - 2:05 Birchmount - 2:28 Ionview (No Platforms) - 2:37 And the line enters the Kennedy portal at 2:42. You think maybe Metrolinx could have at least put some titles at each station? They bothered to put in the words "At-Grade Flyover"
@@codyguy2643 i wouldnt call 11km of tunelling, 19 km of track, 13 station boxes and 12 near-complete stations "barely any progress" but its definitely underwhelming given the period it's been under construction
You might want to label the cross streets, stations, and direction of the fly-through next time; if you're going to go to the trouble of making and posting the video, it should have some basic user-friendliness built in. Maybe even have a map of the project at the start or end of the clip. Also, labelling the video as "Surface Flyover" is somewhat misleading; most people think of a flyover in the transportation context as a bridge or structure. A "Surface Flyover" is oxymoronic. Perhaps call it a project fly-through or something else that is more clear.
By the time this mess is finished, there’ll be no businesses or work for people to travel to. Thanks metrolinx, for making everyone’s life along this line a living hell. Thanks for all the traffic jams caused by this disaster, and for the torn up roads that look like they were carpet bombed. Thanks. It’s already been estimated that the amount of money spent on this failure, will never be recuperated.
And FINALLY..............eglinton construction stopped. I’m from Ottawa and we have the same problem here with the LRT being extended to Orleans, Kanata and Barrhaven. But being Toronto traffic is by far worse, and I always head to my cousin’s place, which on all roads, his apartment is on fucking eglinton of course, this is a much worse hassle.
How do you know that Toronto is going to have a light rail system? One other thing I’m most surprised is Toronto is going to have a light rail system they have a streetcar system!!!!! I believe Toronto is going to have their first light rail system
Years of bad urban planning giving precedence to road transport have created in large areas of Toronto an absolute urban wasteland. I'd like to attribute this atrocity to Conservative government policies but I'm afraid the Liberals have been equally guilty. Who would want to live in this hellish moonscape area, totally given over to concrete and asphalt, unless they had no other choice? If we're going to survive as a city -- and a species -- we're going to have to find a better way to live.

And at 0:27 someone's trespassing lol
can't wait to ride this in 2080
2080?
Can’t wait to ride it in 2022.
it feels like after 8 years, there's barely been any progress so this isn't too far fetched.

0:27 - someone's trespassing lol
bruh
Ya yth is that guy walking on the tracks Hope he doesn't get hit by A Train
Straight forward...
So Good
How about a new fly over video for 2021? This is supposed to open next year..love to see the new progress now
They are saying feb 2022 is the crosstown opening but eglinton station will by bypassed since that station wont be ready until September 2022
See you all for the grand opening in 2122!
Wow, a huge amount of progress has been made as of May 2021!
Ik this has been taking a while to build but I’m still excited for this 😍
When will Eglinton Crosstown finally be completed?
To quote a song title from Zager and Evans:
In The Year 2525.
2025 seems more reasonable
@@lisaray101 Don't bet the mortgage on it.
@@lisaray101 mate uhhhh hes joking about how it keeps getting delayed
Very nice. Good job
A nice fly over using drone
Get the damn thing done! I cross and drive on Eglinton regularly and too often see NOTHING going on for long stretches. GET. IT. DONE!
But why do that when you can delay it even more and milk the taxpayers dry for longer?
wheres the other half?

They finished the overhead wires.

People living on Eglinton don't just work on Eglinton..
dude 1/3 of the city uses public transport stop complaining

@Andrew Chuang Streetcars are a light rail system. All of the Eglinton Crosstown is considered light rail.
Pity there’s no voiceover.
Expect long lines of congested traffic due to the phased traffic signals.
As opposed to the effortless smooth flow we had to deal with on Eglinton E. before all this started? Is your memory working right?

Conservatives deserve more blame. They seem to be the ones cancelling the transit projects.
this project is taking way too long....it should have been done 3 years ago
