It could be considered the boondoggle of the past decade and proof of how little accountability there is by provincial and municipal governments over major construction projects.

I’m referring to the Eglinton-Crosstown LRT build, which is now in its 12th year of construction with no end in sight.

The construction is at least $1B over budget (up to $12.5B which includes operating the system) and the actual opening is likely one year away–four years from the initial target date of fall 2020.
