April 15
As I pass the Mount Denise Station on the 32 heading to Yonge, an eastbound LRV departed the station. As it climb over Black Creek, the pans were reduced to haft the normal height as it got ready to entre the tunnel. Saw nothing for most stations, but Caledonia fencing has been removed for the walkway area with a number of vehicles at the station. Vehicles at Eglinton West station.

Nice to see the Yonge sidewalk complete. All the elevators were running from TTC platform to the LRT station as well the main entrance for Crosstown. Crew trying to clean the tiles on their knees and using special cleaning material for the entrance from the Main Crosstown entrance. Major inspection taking place with a lot of white hats.

All the white hats trying to figure out how to fix the cracked foundation slab.

Good, after all we need to keep up with the excellent standards citywide

I kid I kid, heck I find the current sidewalk treatment quite ugly.

How many times are you going to be challenged on this before you provide proof?

 

[Divas S.]

At this point, the cracks in the foundation are an urban legend, One may wonder what lurks in the alleged cravices of Eglinton station, they may even be home to a house hippo habitat

From the video I've seen, the cracking issue is in the tunnel - perhaps near the entrance to a tunnel box?

Presumably they've stabilized it, or decided it's not an issue.

Under bridges and in the woods perhaps?

I'm in calgary right now
... can confirm that the ctrain has the same exact issues. In fact it was more rampant

As of April 19, 2025, the Eglinton Crosstown LRT stations have been issued occupancy permits, indicating that they are safe and ready to accept passengers. While major construction is complete, some deficiencies and system integration tests are still underway, and an opening date is expected to be announced within three months of the actual launch.

How about opening the stations for Doors Open Toronto on May 24 & 25? Currently, there are no stations in the list.

We've gone way off topic here, maybe time to circle back? How to handle homeless probably should be it's own thread, and it's not really in Metrolinx or TTCs jurisdiction to solve.

Guys, the thread is more derailed than the LRT construction schedule.

I've moved the posts to the thread about the homeless issue https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/how-to-solve-homeless-issue.28200/

Could the wire incident on the Finch West LRT yesterday prompt MX to shut down testing on line 5 to check for deficiencies on Eglinton as well?

Probably not. Different builders, different trains. Doubt there is anything in common.
