The Mount Dennis alignment was proposed after the initial EA, because the Mount Dennis mobility hub was a new feature that didn't exist until the McGuinty government pared the line back to end there.

In this version, the LRT station is under the railway overpass and on the north side of Eglinton Avenue - yes, a side of road alignment..
There is no suggestion of how the line might proceed westwards, but the grades involved certainly suggest that a tunnel would be most practical.
EDIT: The drawings at

show the line moving to the centerline of Eglinton under and west of the Weston Road intersection.
