New documents suggest the Ford government could be forced to pay to operate the Eglinton Crosstown and Finch West LRTs after the city of Toronto paused some financial discussions.
"Out of Service" signs are shown on the Eglinton Crosstown LRT in Toronto on Friday, May 5, 2023. The Eglinton Crosstown LRT has been under construction for 10 years.The province is facing the prospect of having to pay to run two separate light rail lines in Toronto as financial talks between the city and Queen’s Park continue to grind.
The provincial documents suggest Ford government officials are facing a difficult decision — whether they can call Toronto’s bluff on its threat.Another option would be to bring the routes under provincial control, operating them from Queen’s Park or under Metrolinx, instead of the TTC running them as local transit lines.
Negotiations over transit funding began in 2018 when the Ford government tried to take control of the subway network from local officials.The process led to a new agreement between the city and province that went into effect in 2021, the documents explain.
