Metrolinx is Making Traffic Improvements on Eglinton Avenue East

This summer and fall, Metrolinx will be improving the traffic configurations at several major intersections on Eglinton Avenue East where construction for the Crosstown LRT is wrapping up.

After many years of construction, I know the residents of Ward 15 will welcome these changes.

Mount Pleasant Road

At Mount Pleasant Road, the laydown area will be removed, two eastbound lanes and one westbound lane will be opened, and the north sidewalks will open. Metrolinx has advised that they are planning for the intersection to fully reopen before the end of the year.

Leslie Street to Brentcliffe Road

Between Leslie Street and Brentcliffe Road, the intersection at Brentcliffe will re-open, a portion of the north sidewalk will re-open, and several additional lanes will open.

Bayview Avenue

In the fall, Metrolinx is proposing to remove the laydown area and open three additional traffic lanes at Bayview Avenue – two eastbound and one westbound. Metrolinx has advised that they are planning for the intersection to fully reopen before the end of the year.
