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.

Then they should have buses parallel to Line 2 (Bloor & Danforth) and Line 1 (Yonge).

Mississauga will have parallel bus service since the stops are to far apart and will help the elderly, accessibly rider to get to a stop or where they have to go along the line.

Are you talking about the Hurontario LRT?

There is no source or links and has come up a number of times at meetings I attend for the LRT. I stand to be corrected. It has come up at council meetings as well and has been stated there would be bus service, but not at today levels. More like 15-20 minute service, but it will not be known until late 2023 or early 24 as what all service levels will be for Hurontario.

Yep

From the Crosstown FB page:

Your train is arriving! On Saturday August 22, crews drove an LRV from Mount Dennis Station through the tunnel all the way to Caledonia, making it the furthest east a train has traveled to date!

The train with the red headlights makes it look like a terminator.

Yes

Where does it actually say every entrance must be accessible?

Talk to MTO on the requirements. Why should you have access to an non accessible entrance while forcing accessibly/strollers/walkers riders to travel a long distance to an accessible entrance?? Good example is Bloor/Yonge entrance on Yonge St for line 2 where you have to enter the Bloor St entrance to get to the main TTC entrance, then down to line 2.

According to the TTC 2019-2023 TTC Multi-Year Accessibility Plan, their plan to have a minimum of one accessible entrance to each station completely satisfies the AODA requirements.

Attachment 2 of this report, the 2019-2023 TTC Multi-Year Accessibility Plan describes, in detail, the 52 initiatives that TTC plans to complete over the next five years which will increase the number and geographic coverage of accessible transit services and facilities, satisfy AODA requirements, and overall improve accessibility for TTC customers. These initiatives cover four broad areas: Vehicles, Facilities, Wheel-Trans, and Customer Experience. Included in the Accessibility Plan are proposed new best practice initiatives to go beyond the requirements of the AODA and further the 2018- 2022 Corporate Plan, such as system-wide signage and wayfinding upgrades and providing real-time text/visual information on subway trains. A summary of the 52 initiatives is also provided in Attachment 3, while a summary of TTC’s AODA IASR compliance status is provided in Attachment 4.

Also, the MTO is not the one responsible for enforcing the AODA, it's the Accessibility Directorate of Ontario.

I hope this doesn’t lead to situations where a 4th entrance is closed instead of making a second entrance accessible
