A potential improvement to the stairwell with new accessibility ramp to the south side of Davenport, just east of the railway at Caledonia:

Nice. This will be important for connecting between the Davenport Diamond trail and the Green Line.
The existing steps are TERRIBLE. I refer to them as the Stairs of Death.

[Edited to add photo of existing abomination]
Though to be fair, the stairs into Earlscourt Park are just as bad, if not worse, in the winter when they turn into a trampled down icy slide.
The ones at the corner of Caledonia and Davenport. Your second photos shows the older version of that staircase. It was upgraded a few years ago to stone with railings and lighting, similar to the first photo you posted. All good....but completely neglected in the winter. It's a maintenance issue more than design. Both of those staircases and pathways at the south end of the park are nearly unusable for much of the winter.
