"A video of the flooding, posted to Reddit Wednesday, shows water puddling along the station's empty subway platform, where a mop, push broom, shovel and wet sign have been left abandoned. At one point, the video shows water gushing from the ceiling near a platform wall, with steam rising from where it falls. Throughout the video, water can be heard streaming across the floor."
"Mount Dennis Station is set to become the western terminus of the new Line 5, or Eglinton Crosstown, which will begin a phased opening Sunday. Cold temperatures haven't caused similar pipe problems at any of the other stations along the line, Miller said. The line, which is already six years behind schedule due to technical problems and more than $1 billion over budget, will be adjusted as it's phased in to expand service and capacity, improve speed and respond to rider feedback, TTC CEO Mandeep Lali said this week."
Mount Dennis Station experienced flooding after a sprinkler pipe burst due to extreme temperatures; the pipe has been repaired and the station cleaned. Video posted online shows water puddling along the empty subway platform, abandoned cleaning tools, water gushing from the ceiling with steam rising, and audible streaming across the floor. Mount Dennis will serve as the western terminus of Line 5 Eglinton Crosstown, which begins a phased opening Sunday after years of delays. The project is six years behind schedule and more than $1 billion over budget; testing logged minor emergency-brake occurrences but no unaddressed safety-critical items are reported.
