Turning 13 is a milestone year. A teenager at last and gaining a bit of independence. Making friends, perhaps riding the subway alone, well on the way to becoming an adult. Thirteen is advanced enough an age that the phrase “a lifetime” begins to have weight behind it.
Construction of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT recently had its 13th anniversary. This saga already feels like a lifetime, but this is a real milestone: Toronto has a teenage construction project. If the Eglinton Crosstown construction were human it would be heading to high school soon, perhaps picking up some babysitting gigs to make a little cash. That would help since it’s so over budget.
