my thoughts on line 5

Published:

15 years after shovels hit the ground, the Line 5 Eglinton finally opened to riders on February 8th, 2026.1 Years of delays, cost overruns, and significantly slower-than-anticipated end-to-end time soured what should have been a day of celebration.2 What frustrates me, as a lifelong transit enthusiast, is just how avoidable the whole situation was.
