The former footprint of a long-abandoned TTC bus terminal sits empty after almost a decade of construction chaos.Eglinton Station's original bus terminal was built in 1954 as a surface connection hub for what was then the northern terminus of Toronto's first subway line. It operated for 50 years before a modern replacement opened to the immediate south in 2004, and would sit abandoned for another 12 years.In recent weeks, this site has been cleared of construction equipment, signalling the long-anticipated end of a seemingly cursed transit project that has plagued midtown Toronto for over a decade.Construction of the Crosstown LRT began in the summer of 2011, but it wasn't until mid-2016 that the long-abandoned bus terminal was cleared ahead of its future use as an extraction shaft for two of the four tunnel boring machines (TBMs) that carved the line's underground sections.Launched in 2012 from a similar launch shaft dug in Keelesdale Park, the western pair TBMs carved 10-kilo...
