Verster to CTS: “Another Unacceptable Delay Tactic”

 

Written by William C. Vantuono, Editor-in-Chief

 

 

Crosslinx Transit Solutions (CTS), the consortium of  ACS-Dragados, Aecon, EllisDon and SNC-Lavalin building Toronto’s much-delayed Eglinton Crosstown LRT project, is purposely engaging in tactics based on “looking for new ways to make financial claims,” according to Metrolinx President and CEO Phil Verster.

 

According to Verster, CTS informed Metrolinx on May 15  that it intends to litigate and stop working with Eglinton Crosstown operator TTC (Toronto Transit Commission). “This is another unacceptable delay tactic by CTS at a time when it should be submitting a credible schedule to Metrolinx for completing the project,” Verster said. “While Metrolinx is driving and supporting CTS to complete the project, CTS is looking for new ways to make financial claims. CTS’s behavior continues to be disappointing, especially for our Toronto communities, which have been waiting patiently for the completion of this project.”
