That entrance was where a foreign student on his way to school was fatally stabbed (or was it shot) by a stranger some 2 1/2 years ago (completely random). No doubt that incident prompted the safety enhancement.

Looked it up, as I didn't recall the details either, it was Shot.
21-year-old student was on way to work when shot dead outside Toronto subway station
The man shot and killed at an entrance to a Toronto subway station on Thursday evening was a 21-year-old student from India who was on his way to work, family members say.
Took place at 5pm in the month of April, sunset at that time of year is ~7:50pm. So I don't imagine extra lighting would play much of a role in prevention. Perhaps the cameras would have made a difference.... I'm all for improving the space, but I do think we sometimes oversell the value of certain measures.

Yes, now I remember. On the way to work, not school. Agreed that no extra lighting could’ve prevented that, but I suppose it would give a sense of security to people using that entrance.Looked it up, as I didn't recall the details either, it was Shot.

The City's contractor here is taking a holiday break!....they're off from tomorrow to January 7th.
(swell deal if you can get it)
I'm not suggesting they work Christmas, LOL....... but they're getting something like 13 weekdays, and 19 calendar days off.

Project has now had the finishing date pushed out to 'Spring '25' At the rate things have gone here.........I would suggest June, rather than March......
It will be only ~17-20 months late...........
Originally scheduled for completion, October 31st, 2023.

I'd be very surprised if many of their workers get paid for this "vacation". Though management surely does.

And? What are the consequences of missing deadlines?

No question, that's an issue.
