Laird[2] is an LRT station under construction on the Toronto Transit Commission's Eglinton Crosstown line.[3] It will be located in the Leaside neighbourhood at the intersection of Laird Drive and Eglinton Avenue. It is scheduled to open in 2020.
When opened this station might serve as a temporary eastern terminus of the line if the eastern portion of this line is not yet complete.[citation needed]
This station's entrances are both on the south side of Eglinton. The main entrance is at the southwest corner of the Laird Drive intersection replacing a small strip mall and the secondary one is east of that in the Leaside Centre parking lot, just beyond the Pier 1 Imports store.[1] This is the last underground station eastbound in the main tunnel; the line will emerge in the Eglinton median about 250m east of Brentcliffe Drive.
Destinations include the many commercial establishments to the southeast: Leaside Centre, the SmartCentres on Laird, and the Leaside Business Park on Eglinton.
In a report to the TTC Board on 23 November 2015 it was recommended that stations on Line 5 Eglinton LRT should be given unique names.[2]
