The transition between elevated line across the Humber River / Eglinton Flats, and the short tunneled section connecting to Mount Dennis station will go here.

I believe this tunnel is going to be mined to Mount Dennis station. Too short of a section to bore and no way to pull the TBMs out at the other side.

Yup that's correct, or more technically Sequential Excavation:

I used the word tunneled to mean "in a tunnel" (in contrast to elevated or at-grade).

Residential Demolition permit for 11 and 13 Hollis will go before EYCC's next meeting.

The purpose is to create a laydown area in service of the transit construction.

11 and 13 Hollis Street to be torn down for a "laydown area" for the Eglinton West LRT extension's tunnel construction.

15 Hollis Street is the location for a 48 story, 583 unit condo development. So that's why 11 and 13 were not bought by Gairloch Developments. See https://urbantoronto.ca/database/projects/15-hollis.45655 . Wonder if after the construction, what will happen to the property? A park?
