 The Eglinton Crosstown is a 19-kilometre light rail transit (LRT) line that will run along Eglinton Avenue  through the heart of Toronto, with an underground central section. The line will connect Mount Dennis in  the west to Kennedy Road in the east, and the new service will be up to 60% faster than the bus service  today.
