Ontario Advancing Construction on the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension

• As part of the largest expansion of public transit in Canadian history, our government is taking the next step to build the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension (ECWE).
• Today, we issued a Request for Qualifications for the design and construction of seven stations along the ECWE, marking another milestone in our plan to deliver reliable, rapid transit to communities in Toronto and Mississauga.
• For people who depend on transit to get to and from work and other important destinations, the seven-stop Eglinton Crosstown West Extension will be a game changer, connecting commuters from Renforth to Mount Dennis, Kennedy and beyond.
• Once complete, the ECWE will bring the Eglinton Crosstown LRT another 9.2 kilometres farther west, creating a continuous rapid transit line from the east end of Toronto through the heart of the city and into Mississauga, with an estimated 69,700 rides expected each day.
• Under the leadership of Premier Ford, the ECWE will bring 37,500 more people within walking distance of public transit, making life that much easier for riders in Toronto and Mississauga.
