ridiculous to have space heaters. Why not have them in all bus shelters then

I'm pretty sure it's to prevent snow and ice from formulating on the platforms to help protect against people slipping onto the tracks and dying. Worthwhile IMHO.

All this trouble for a drab looking building.

Why is this building being preserved?

Can't be for tourism reasons. Who would pay to see or walk through such a bland building? Our tax dollars at work, folks.

Maybe because it's a landmark for people in the area.

So... Our tax dollars shouldn't do what we ask them to do? It's being kept because those who bothered to take part in the project planning process demanded it.

If the building wasn't preserved these same people will be here whining about how the Metrolinx and the province doesn't listen to what people want.

Contrary to popular belief, heritage planning isn't always about how pretty a building is.

Guess you don't know what photographic film was.

As late as 1976, Kodak commanded 90% of film sales and 85% of camera sales in the U.S.. Believe it or not, Kodak developed a digital camera in 1975, the first of its kind, the product was dropped for fear it would threaten Kodak's photographic film business. Digital cameras did in fact.

Also why I think that the light rail vehicle yard at Mt. Dennis should be named the "Kodak Barns".

Not just that, but the phrase "Kodak moment" entered the English lexicon as well.
