I am amazed that we have had 2 pages of discussion about this and nobody has blamed Bombardier yet or quoted the Simpsons monorail song.
What's happening to this forum?!

Unknown to many, there's also another major tunneling operation in your vicinity (undergrounding of a hydro transmission line). But like Eglinton, this one would also be too far for you to hear anything. It's roughly at Shaftsbury, well south of St Clair, and obviously beyond earshot of Yonge/Davisville.
*60-75m below ground, and about 3m in diameter. This is pretty sizable. More info: http://www.hydroone.com/Projects/Midtown/Documents/Midtown Panels for meeting.pdf

Huh. I had no idea.

Wasn't the facade of House of Chan supposed to be preserved as part of the station? If so, is that now a lost opportunity thanks to the collapse?

Why is this bad news?
As mentioned in the statement, the building was set to come down anyway. Work along the rest of the Crosstown route is continuing, and it looks like they may be ahead of schedule here too now thanks to the forced demolition of this other property over night.

Wow! That's crazy. I didn't realize that was grounds for preservation. Thanks for sharing those screen caps

My guess is because Eglinton will be closed to traffic until demolition is completed.
