Customers say that the imminent closure of Yitz’s Delicatessen on the northwest corner of Eglinton Ave. West and Avenue Rd. has been caused by the chaos associated with construction of the LRT. As residents right along Eglinton Ave. know, the multi-year disruption has caused thousands of people to simply avoid the street. Yitz’s has the misfortune to be next door to Avenue Rd. station, which has been under construction for years. The restaurant’s owner says the decision is his, but the cause and effects seems obvious. The closure of the plaza containing the busy Mac’s and Subway sandwich on the corner where the station will stand has had an impact.
