new station stops

The Eglinton Crosstown LRT (ECLRT) is Toronto's most significant transit expansion project in decades. It spans the city east-to-west across nineteen and a half kilometers encompassing 15 stations and 10 stops, including three interchange stations and a maintenance and storage facility. The ECLRT prioritizes the passenger experience by connecting five well-established city boroughs to existing subway stations, bus terminals, and regional rail transit. By employing context-sensitive, system-wide design principles, it acts as a catalyst for urban intensification and civic improvement along the Eglinton corridor, fostering enhanced connectivity and contributing to the city's overall growth. 

The solution

The project enhanced the passenger experience through clear design, accessible spaces, effective wayfinding, and integration with existing developments and transit systems.

neighbourhoods connected to established transit and regional rail

The Eglinton Crosstown LRT is a transformative project in Toronto, connecting diverse neighborhoods and establishing Eglinton Avenue as a major east-west transit corridor. Spanning 19.5 kilometres, it expands the city's transit system, generates civic spaces, reduces congestion, increases urban density, and promotes sustainability. The design prioritizes design excellence and public outreach to ensure success. By prioritizing the passenger experience, the ECLRT enhances connectivity, accessibility, and livability. It serves as a reliable, efficient, and sustainable transportation option, catalyzing economic development and fostering vibrant communities. Through collaboration, innovation, and design excellence, the Eglinton Crosstown LRT project shapes Toronto's future, strengthening the transit network and enhancing the quality of life for residents and visitors.
