Ontario government officials say the Eglinton Crosstown LRT is set to complete its revenue service demonstration on Monday, but the final steps to open the beleaguered line still aren’t fully clear.

During an unrelated news conference Monday morning, Metrolinx president and CEO Michael Lindsay was asked about the Eglinton Crosstown LRT and its current projected opening date.

He confirmed Monday is “believe(d)” to be the final day of a 30-day revenue service demonstration process, which is intended to show the line is operating as it was designed. Lindsay said officials have been able to see how the trains perform through “all kinds of weather.”

“I can understand the frustration of absolutely everybody associated with this project,” Lindsay said.
