Inside Eglinton Crosstown’s Oakwood Station

Progress continues on the Eglinton Crosstown LRT project.

The 19km route will make commutes up to 60 per cent faster than before.

With 25 stations and stops, the Crosstown LRT will connect to 54 bus routes, three TTC subway stations, and GO Train lines as well.

Oakwood is an underground station on the western side of the project’s route at Oakwood Avenue and Eglinton Avenue West.

The station is unique because it’s the only station located directly at a T-intersection, making it visible to people traveling northbound on Oakwood Avenue.
