Where will stops and stations be for the selected routing be provided?
Why is the central section of the LRT line located underground, below Eglinton Avenue, instead of at surface? In the area of the proposed underground section between Keele Street and Leslie Street, the width of Eglinton Avenue is between 20 and 25 metres wide. This width is not sufficient to accommodate the LRT line and maintain two lanes of traffic in each direction. Therefore, the LRT line will be underground over this 12 kilometre section of Eglinton Avenue. In the underground section, stations will be located about 850 metres apart, typically at intersections where existing north-south bus routes or the Yonge and Spadina Subway lines cross Eglinton Avenue. This station spacing is similar to the central sections of the existing Bloor-Danforth and Yonge-University subway lines where passengers accept a longer walk to reach the frequent, reliable service and weather-protected waiting area provided by the underground operation. While the distance between underground stations is longer
