Construction of the Crosstown LRT, Eglinton Ave. West, Toronto, September 3, 2020.
Description
The construction of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT began in 2013. Originally meant to be completed in 2021, Metrolinx recently announced that the project would not be ready until sometime in 2022. In the seven years since construction began, 140 businesses have shut down in the Little Jamaica neighbourhood. This impact is now amplified by the ongoing pandemic restrictions.
