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

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.

... 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.

Have they shut down testing? I was posing that as a hypothetical question, not as a statement.

Got the following reply from Doors Open Toronto...
Yet, the Legislative Assembly of Ontario (111 Wellesley St. W. M7A1A2) is part of Doors Open Toronto. See https://www.toronto.ca/explore-enjoy/festivals-events/doors-open-toronto/doors-open-buildings-sites/building-or-site-details/?id=a0jMm000003fQ6TIAU&title=Legislative-Assembly-of-Ontario
(The City of Toronto does not own the Ontario Legislative Building. The land on which it stands, part of Queen's Park, is owned by the Government of Ontario. The City of Toronto manages Queen's Park as part of its city park system. )

The wire has come down a few times on the O-Train. Maybe there's something about the Citadis that makes it more prone to these incidents

How long did it take for Ottawa to get the wires back up and get the line running again?

The case that was closest to this one, where arcing in an ice storm caused severe damage to the wires was 6 days.
The other cases were far shorter, under a day and didn't stop the system, but caused big delays
