Is there any intention of Metrolinx providing an opening date for the Eglinton crosstown, or is that a 13 billion dollar question the public isn't supposed to ask?
What is this thing of concrete coming out of the middle of the road?

I'm not really sure about that but it's for the tunnel and not the station, it's in case there is a fire in the tunnel and they can use it to remove smoke and air from the fire.Why is it so high though

It's a ventilation shaft. I remember asking the Crosstown team about this and they insisted it couldn't be accommodated under the roadway (such as those you'll see on Spadina Rd) and so there's a small median structure on the North side of the intersection.
Can we sneak a peak at the connection to the Line 5's Eglinton Station? How about during "Open Doors 2023"?The extended platform for Line 1 at Eglinton opens for service tomorrow, Sunday May 14th.

If you mean the extended Line 1 platform, then I was just there and can confirm that it's mostly open now. Still some parts blocked off, but it's navigable.Is the platform open as of now. Pictures please if anyone is around.
