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.
