Crosslinx ropes off yards as Thursfield residents await rain

by  • 

Daniel Unruh and his neighbours on Thursfield Cres. in north Leaside are holding their breath Friday as Crosslinx engineers check out the extent of the jeopardy to their property following Wednesday’s landslide beside Eglinton Ave. E. Mr Unruh says the LRT construction consortium has roped off backyards where fences are teetering on the edge of a steep cliff caused by the landslide. “We’ve requested (as have our neighbours) all documentation and engineer reports related to the collapse and mitigation going forward to stabilize the hill behind our homes,” says Unruh. “We have noticed the movement of our property sliding down the hill — only a couple of inches — but it is visible. We’re holding our breath that the rain tonight doesn’t make things worse.”
