Project Status
Line 5 Eglinton opened to TTC customers on February 8, 2026. Service information, including maps, schedules, station details, and accessibility features, is available on the TTC's website.
The City has worked closely with Metrolinx and the TTC throughout the project to:
- Coordinate road and utility work to minimize disruption.
- Plan for safe pedestrian and cycling connections around stations.
- Update traffic signals and street design to support efficient transit operations.
- Prepare feeder bus routes and wayfinding for a smooth transition when service begins.
What Residents Can Expect
When Line 5 opens, it will transform travel across midtown with:
- Faster trips: 19 km of dedicated LRT tracks will cut east–west travel time by up to an hour.
- Better connections: 25 stations link to three subway lines, two GO lines, and more than 50 TTC bus routes.
- Dedicated service: New vehicles and dedicated transit lanes mean fewer delays compared to buses in mixed traffic.
Looking Ahead
- The Eglinton Crosstown West Extension is under construction, extending service from Mount Dennis to Renforth Drive and improving access to Toronto Pearson Airport.
- The City will continue supporting construction coordination, traffic management, and community engagement for this next phase.
