In recent days the provincial transit body Metrolinx has been releasing information and pictures of stations along the Eglinton Crosstown LRT. In a previous post, The South Bayview Bulldog published details of the Bayview Ave. and Mt. Pleasant Rd. stops. Now we can show these pictures of the new buildings and locations for the station at Laird Dr. The main entrance (inset top) will be built on the site of the strip mall on the southwest corner. This mall now houses the Great Canadian Bagel and other retailers. The mall will be demolished to make way for the station shown. Across Laird to the east, a second entrance (inset lower) will be built on the parking lot of the RioCan-owned Laird Centre on the southeast corner. In this depiction you can see the Pier One outlet which will remain. Metrolinx confirms there will be no LRT access on the north side of Eglinton at Laird. This means the charming former TD bank building on the northwest corner will remain a Starbucks. McDonald’s to be demolished for Bayview station. Laird LRT stop will replace long-time Bagel maker
