Here's why the website for the Eglinton Crosstown LRT has quietly disappeared

Those going online to check for an update on themuch-delayed(andalready problematic) Eglinton Crosstown LRT may be thinking the worst this week upon noticing that the website dedicated to the project is no more.

The URL thecrosstown.ca used to be where one could find any and all information about the transit line that's beenmore than a decadein the making, and has also been the source ofheated litigationbetween construction group Crosslinx Transit Solutions, transit body Metrolinx and theprovince of Ontario.

But, inquiring residents have found the page to be suddenly non-existent, and the associated social media accounts pretty inactive, with the last poston Twitterdated May 1 andon Instagram, December 21, 2022.

While some might suspect a domain renewal snafu or even some more substantial drama to do with the future of the rail route, Metrolinx is assuring the public that nothing (new) is amiss.

"We recently relaunched our website to make it easier to find info about all our projects," a spokesperson for the agency told blogTO, adding that all details can be foundon the devoted Crosstown pageof the main Metrolinx site.

The landing page for the UP Express has also been relaunched, as announcedin a press releaselast week.

So, if you're one of those who have noticed the old page is down, no need to worry! That is, until the next issue with the line arises and inevitably delays its opening even further.
