Would people not stay on the crosstown as it heads west to Pearson? I assume Crosstown West goes from WEston Rd to Pearson. Once it's built who will call it west or east. It would be the Crosstown as it will be one continuous line or am I missing something?

You're not missing anything. It's just a matter of choice and time saving (not fare cost thought).

There currently is no transfer (or discount) between the TTC (including the Crosstown LRT) with UPX. Waiting for the change.

So when is Eglinton west projected to be opem? 2025? It should be built with the central trunk. Eglinton East is 2025 as well right?

Seems reasonable, but we'll have to see what city council says about the SSE alignment along with Eglinton East in the coming meetings (since it's been postponed).

Let's hope so. I actually want Eglinton East done because the people east of Markham road are often forgotten in this who subway debate.

With the cost of the SSE continuing to increase, I fear Eglinton East won't ever be built.

I'm talking about 2021. Who knows if Eglinton West will even get to Pearson if TO is still looking for Mississauga to pay their part.

We're good on the east.

It will get built. It might end at Renforth which is fine, as we can keep the bus. But I'm sure everyone here would prefer it go to Terminal 1.

Although this video is only 2 months old, it does not confirm that Crosstown East will be a priority over other transit infrastructure. But it does show that city council is committed into extending the line.

On the other hand, there's no video for Crosstown West. Which doesn't mean it's not on the radar (announcement videos are pretty rare), but we can't count it out yet (it's still lower priority compared East IMO).

Fair, but I just did want to confirm the city is serious about it.

However Crosstown West is part of SmartTrack, which is Tory's baby. Also Crosstown West appears to be further along in the design process. We haven't heard much about the design of Crosstown East, while we have tons of reports on Crosstown West. Furthermore, Crosstown West has funding while East does not.

I might be missing something here but how does Crosstown West have funding? I thought the staff report suggested the City of Mississauga should contribute and they were negative on that idea. Further, the Etobicoke Centre MPP is pushing for several grade separations so do we even know the final budget projection for this project? Happy to be corrected if I've missed something.

There is no bus TTC bus from the Pearson to Renforth/Eg right now. The only route that runs from Pearson to Renfoth/Eg is the Miway route 7. The 107 drops people off at the Link train at Viscount.

Yes, it's consider funded at this stage (Renforth to Mount Dennis). It's approved and the city will budget for the project as part of SmartTrack. The city signed an agreement with the province to give them the cash to get it built. They have an estimate and will adjust the budget according to the grade separation recommendations. The city haven't clarify if the ST funding can apply to Crosstown west through. Crosstown east is not funded and not budgeted.

The city however haven't finalize how they'll find the money. Personal I find it very stupid for money having to transfer from city level upwards. It should be the other way around.

Wow, I though the 127 rocket from kipling stopped there?

So the west is funded then? When does construction start?

The 192 rocket (not 127 Davenport) does not stop anywhere between the 3 stops in Pearson and East Mall Cres. on Dundas St West. The 192 takes the 427. Currently, one would have to take the 52A east to Carlingview and 112C south to reach Renforth/Eg. If they don't build the LRT to Perason, they could just extend the 112B to the there.

The previous report say something like 2021 start date.
