2 w. ago Eglinton Crosstown LRT's September opening date looking less and less likely

While much headway has been made toward opening Toronto's Eglinton Crosstown LRT in September as expected, it's starting to look like the 13.5-year-long project may be delayed even further as we get closer to the fall.The regional transit agency's move to hand the line over to the TTC two weeks ago was generally considered an indication that locals were finally on the verge of getting to ride the problem-plagued line, which was initially scheduled to launch in 2020.Prior to that big announcement, signage had already appeared along Eglinton explaining that bus stops were being "updated in preparation for" the LRT's inauguration, and TTC staff were re-deployed and re-trained along the route.Though internal budgets anticipated a summer 2025 debut, anonymous sources recently cited a September 2025 opening, though with the caveat that "an eleventh-hour problem" during ...

Premier Doug Ford has furthered his government's seemingly primary agenda of making alcohol more accessible in Ontario, announcing Friday that residents will have yet another way to get a booze buzz.But, whether you're on team buck-a-beer or not, the latest easing of alcohol restrictions seems like a pretty obvious one that, frankly, should have been greenlit ages ago.The Province issued a press release Friday morning to share that pedal pubs across Ontario — which have been legally relegated to mere pedal-powered transportation to bars and breweries since their launch a few years ago — would be able to achieve their true intended form starting July 1, 2025.Pedal pubs currently operate in Toronto, as well as in other Ontario cities, including Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ottawa and Windsor. However, until now, the Ontario versions of these globally established pedal-powered bars on wheels have been sidelined due to laws regarding alcohol in vehicles.The province'...
