O'Connor stop
O'Connor is a surface light rail transit stop to be constructed on Line 5 Eglinton, a new line that is part of the Toronto subway system. It will be located in the Golden Mile neighbourhood at the intersection of Eglinton Avenue and Victoria Park Avenue. It is scheduled to open in 2022.
Metrolinx is planning to locate the stop in the middle of Eglinton Avenue East between Victoria Park Avenue and the street Eglinton Square. The stop will have parallel side platforms. Access to the stop will be from both platform ends using an adjacent pedestrian crossing at each of two signalized intersections – at Victoria Park Avenue on the west side of the stop and at the street Eglinton Square on the east side.
Line 5 Eglinton actually crosses the street Eglinton Square rather than O'Connor Drive, both of which are effectively the same street, with a change of name at Victoria Park Avenue. The shopping centre Eglinton Square is situated on the south side of its eponymous street. The streets Eglinton Avenue, Eglinton Square and Victoria Park Avenue enclose the triangular Victoria Park - Eglinton Parkette, which is just south of the O'Connor stop.
History
During the planning stages for Line 5 Eglinton, the stop was given the working name "Victoria Park", which is identical to the pre-existing Victoria Park station on Line 2 Bloor–Danforth. On November 23, 2015, a report to the TTC Board recommended giving a unique name to each station in the subway system. Thus, the LRT stop was renamed "O'Connor" after the nearby O'Connor Drive." Using "Eglinton Square" as the name for the stop would be similar to the pre-existing names for Eglinton station and Eglinton West station, the latter to be renamed to "Cedarvale" to avoid confusion with the former.In January 2019, the first concrete pour for the surface section of Line 5 occurred at the future O'Connor stop on its Eglinton Square side. Before being encased in concrete, conduit pipes were laid to support communications and power cables for the Crosstown's stations and stops.
