The Finch LRT project, known as Line 6, is now expected to open in August 2025, significantly delayed from its original 2021 timeline. Metrolinx has not confirmed this new date, despite major construction being completed. Residents express frustration over the prolonged construction and its impact on their lives. The project has faced legal challenges, with the consortium building the line suing Metrolinx over contract disputes, contributing to further delays. While some commuters remain hopeful for improved transit, the lack of clear communication from Metrolinx has led to growing dissatisfaction among the public. The situation mirrors issues faced with the Eglinton Crosstown LRT project.
