MESSAGE FROM CHAIR 

 

A new and exciting year has started at the Upper VIllage BIA.

 

This term we will have more board members than previous terms.

This is great news for us and we're hoping for a prosperous year.


 

This year we are still working on improving the streetscape of Eglinton.

We are planning on getting new and bigger flower planters at the street level.


 

We also have a marketing committee that is working on some new initiatives.

Once more, we would like to encourage our members to use facebook and twitter which is posted on our website www.uppervillagetoronto.ca.


 

Also, the passport contest deadline is March 21, 2015.

Don't forget to get your passport signed or stamped to be eligible for the grand prize.

 

Good luck to everyone!

The Eglinton Crosstown is a light rail transit (LRT) line that will run across Eglinton Avenue between Mount Dennis (Weston Road) and Kennedy Station. This 19-kilometre corridor will include a 10-kilometre underground portion, between Keele Street and Laird Drive. It will provide a rapid and reliable service that will be up to 60% faster than bus service today, when it is completed in 2020.



 

Eglinton Crosstown Project hits a milestone!


 

On January 21, 2015, two tunnel boring machines (TBMs), Dennis and Lea, broke through the extraction shaft on the west side of Allen Road. This signifies the completion of tunnelling work from Black Creek to Allen Road. The next step is to move the TBMs from the extraction shaft on the west side of Allen Road, up and over the TTC Eglinton West Station, back to the east side of Allen Road and re-launch to complete the drive to Yonge Street. Please stay tuned for information on our website about the big move of the two TBMs. To watch the video of the TBM breakthrough, please click here.

From Monday, July 21, 2014 onwards, pedestrian access to Eglinton West Station will be re-routed to facilitate the construction of the extraction shaft in the vicinity of the southbound Allen Road Ramp.
