Renforth station

The Renforth site was identified by Metrolinx in 2012 as a transportation mobility hub, which would integrate bus rapid transit and local bus service.{{cite web |url=http://www.metrolinx.com/mobilityhubs/en/map/mobility_hubs_map/MHP_RenforthGateway.pdf |title=Renforth Gateway Mobility Hub Profile |date=September 19, 2012 |publisher=Metrolinx |quote=This hub is planned to integrate Rapid Transit and local bus service near the intersection of Renforth Drive and Highway 401 in the City of Mississauga. |accessdate=November 8, 2014}}

Renforth station will be the western terminus of the second phase of Line 5 Eglinton – a light rail transit line that is part of the Toronto subway system. In April 2022, construction of the "Crosstown West Extension" began along Eglinton Avenue to the east in Toronto from Mount Dennis station. The LRT station will be located below grade in an open trench just north of the transitway station. This station will be the first in the Toronto subway system to be located in the City of Mississauga.

In December 2021, parts of the tunnel boring machines (TBMs) that would bore the twin tunnels {{convert|6.3|km}} eastwards along Eglinton from a launch shaft at the future station site arrived and were assembled prior to excavation.{{cite web |url=https://blog.metrolinx.com/2021/12/23/home-for-the-holidays-the-tunnel-boring-machines-for-the-eglinton-crosstown-west-extension-arrive-at-launch-site/ |title=Home for the holidays – The tunnel boring machines for the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension arrive at launch site |publisher=Metrolinx |date=December 23, 2021 |access-date=January 2, 2022}} The first TBM, dubbed Renny (the name being a reference to Renforth Drive), began tunnelling in April 2022 but the second, named Rexy, started later, by early August, as the launch area was only wide enough to launch one TBM at a time.{{cite web |date=August 5, 2022 |title=Second tunnel starts as Rexy joins Renny in tunnelling the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension |url=https://blog.metrolinx.com/2022/08/05/second-tunnel-starts-as-rexy-joins-renny-in-tunnelling-the-eglinton-crosstown-west-extension/ |url-status=live |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20220806205442/https://blog.metrolinx.com/2022/08/05/second-tunnel-starts-as-rexy-joins-renny-in-tunnelling-the-eglinton-crosstown-west-extension/ |archivedate=August 6, 2022 |publisher=Metrolinx}} Tunnelling was completed two years later, with Renny breaking through the extraction shaft near Scarlett Road in May 2024 and Rexy breaking through three weeks later.{{cite web|url=https://www.metrolinx.com/en/news/Tunnelling-complete-on-segment-of-Eglinton-Crosstown-West-Extension |title= TBMs Rexy and Renny spent two years digging twin 6.3-kilometre tunnels for the western segment |publisher=Metrolinx |date=June 24, 2024 |access-date=October 26, 2024}}

A proposed third phase of the line would extend and turn north, where it would terminate at the proposed Pearson Regional Transit Centre located north of Toronto Pearson International Airport Terminals 1 and 3.{{cite web |url=https://urbantoronto.ca/news/2020/03/metrolinxs-eglinton-west-lrt-business-case-goes-underground |title=Metrolinx's Eglinton West LRT Business Case Goes Underground |work=UrbanToronto |first=Robert |last=Mackenzie |date=March 17, 2020 |access-date=September 21, 2020 }} As an interim project, land was preserved for future dedicated bus lanes to the airport.{{cite web |url=http://www.torontopearson.com/uploadedFiles/GTAA/Content/About_GTAA/Strategy/Master_Plan/MP_Chapter_14_Land_Use_Part_2.pdf |title= 14.4.1 Proposed Development to 2017 |date= |work=Master Plan, Chapter 14, Land Use |publisher=GTAA |quote=There will be continued protection of lands for a Bus Rapid Transit corridor along Renforth and Silver Dart Drives from the future Renforth Gateway station on Eglinton Avenue. |accessdate=January 2, 2022}}
