Those columns are to support a new stairway down to the parking lot that will replace the old one removed a couple of years ago.

^^ is it like your job to post that every time staircases are mentioned?
There will be a switchback entrance on the west side of the intersection that is much more suitable for cyclists and wheelchair users. It's under construction as we speak.

Most of the underground stations on the Crosstown (and future Crosstown West) LRT will have two entrances. Will both of the entrances have elevators (and escalators), or only the main entrance?

If they don't have elevators, wait until 2026/27 for lawsuits start to fly to get one built, let alone the 2 that should be there on day one. If no elevator, it doesn't comply with AODA requirements for Dec 31, 2025 deadline. No idea on escalators until we see the stations in person or someone shows us plans or photo of what will be there for all entrances.

All stations will have at least two entrances/exits. Here's how many of the entrances will be accessible at each station. Really disappointing Metrolinx. Mount Dennis 3/3, Keelsdale 1/3, Caledonia 1/1, Fairbank 1/2, Oakwood 1/2, Cedervale (Eglinton West) 3/4, Forest Hill 1/2, Chaplin 1/3, Avenue 1/2, Eglinton 3/6, Mount Pleasant 1/2, Leaside 2/2, Laird 2/2, Science Centre 2/2, Kennedy 4/4

They are opening themselves up to a huge bill to comply with AODA requirements unless the government waves the requirements. Even then, there will be legal challenges to have all entrance comply with current AODA requirements. As for Keelesdale, there is 5 entrance with 2 having elevators that I know of. One is for the bus platform

Does the AODA mandate that EVERY entrance is accessible? I feel like even when they add elevators to older stations, they only do so to one of the entrances to the stations such as at Chester.

Caledonia going to be a problem. Caledonia Station is the deepest station, and there is a senior's residence near the western secondary entrance.
From link.
Now if the elevator(s) (or escalators) are out-of-service?

There lay the problem for accessibility riders having only one elevator. The hill between Keelesdale and Caledonia will be a bitch for people who don't have motorize equipment to move them or people with walkers that can't use escalators, especially in the winter months.
Now, if both Keeledale and Caledonia have no elevator, one hell of a trip from Dufferin Station.
These people have the same rights to use transit like we do, but they need more needs to do so.

If you ask me, I think the future 34 extended to Mt Dennis would be a better alternative for accessibility. You would avoid going through multiple elevators and stop closer to your destination.
