"GO Transit is recommending commuters travelling into Union Station Monday morning use TTC routes instead. Subway service downtown has its own disruptions though, with the TTC reporting at 10:30 a.m. that Line 1 has no service between St. Andrew and Spadina stations, due to an injury on the tracks."

Off the rails: The inside story of how the Eglinton Crosstown LRT went from transit dream to cautionary tale

But the City also committed to installing the bike lanes on Eglinton once the LRT opened (after postponing the work back in the fall).
No more delays. This spring Toronto needs to complete Eglinton.
