Origin
Summary
On May 17, 2010, the Ministry of the Environment approved the Environmental Project Report for the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit project. Subsequent to the approval of the Environmental Project Report, the first phase of this project – the 19-kilometre section between the Mount Dennis neighbourhood (Weston) and Kennedy Station (Scarborough) has received Provincial funding and is currently in the preliminary stages of detailed design and preparation for construction.
However during the design phase, Metrolinx has identified changes to the project that are inconsistent with the project presented in the 2010 Environmental Project Report. Metrolinx is proposing a change to the alignment in the section from Jane Street east to Keelesdale Park. In addition, a maintenance and storage facility has been added to the project. The maintenance and storage facility will be located at 3500 Eglinton Avenue West (former Kodak lands) and will be used to store and maintain light rail vehicles.
These changes to the project have been documented in an Environmental Project Report Addendum, which has been reviewed by City staff.
The purpose of this report is to outline the proposed changes in the Environmental Project Report Addendum and seek approval from City Council for the revised project.
