Toronto residents should have an idea by the end of summer as to when the Eglinton Crosstown light rail transit line will be up and running, the head of Ontario's provincial transit agency says.
Phil Verster, CEO of Metrolinx, told reporters at a news conference on Thursday that an announcement is coming and the agency has made "excellent progress in many aspects" of the much-delayed and over-budget transit line.
"This is when technical, complex issues are found, fixed, rectified," he added. "And it's not really clear before you have found the problem how long it's going to take to rectify it."
