Where did you get that timeline?
Work details
Remaining wall finish panels, and temporary lighting supports at platform level will be removed and disposed. New wall finish panels, ceiling, lighting, and surveillance system will be installed along with cosmetic upgrades.
Work hours and noise
The Queen’s Park and St. Patrick Station Finishes program will take place in phases over the next two years.
Personally I think there is some opportunity for some throwback to the original mid-mod vitrolite designs, IMO. I really am not a fan of the current 70s-80s tilework which hardly speaks of any sort of design excellence.Can't agree with this, I don't like the original Line 1 scheme at all. I think the public washroom aesthetic is terrible, and I liked the trackside finishes in Osgoode and St. Andrew better before the recent refit (subject to my universal complaint that the TTC rarely cleans them and they get grubby as all get out, irrespective of finish)
I think King and College both look fine if a bit worn. No one ever liked the re-do of Dundas, but no one liked it before either (except maybe you) LOL. Wellesley also wasn't a great improvement.
Regardless, I want them to figure out an unified design scheme for the original Yonge Line stations, perhaps following on the tail of the Bloor-Yonge Station redesign, or depending on the current political mood, if platform screen doors get installed.
Somehow I feel like dealing with conduit clutter is somewhat of a herculean tasks with current TTC habits.There is certainly a need for less visual clutter on the TTC; and for running conduit either in the ceilings, or at least stylishly ducted.
