I'm really surprised (though kinda not, this being Toronto) that they didn't put a canopy over that stairwell. Bring on the medium grey, spandrel clad box!

Wow they actually attempted to make the tiling match the existing platform aesthetic?? Maybe the TTC didnt realize their mistake is getting things right here.

They did something similar at Castle Frank and Woodbine.

I haven't seen this in person yet........so can't be sure, but the tile looks pretty close to the one used at Donlands, and at Pape.

Neutral colour, large format tile, usually a matte finish.

I believe that they were told "no" when they asked about building a more elaborate pavilion. Something about the view of the trees in the circle.

I haven't been to that station in forever. Does the "jail" still exist?

Isn't that where this new entrance comes out?

Wow, a classic entrance! When's the last time they opened one of those - 1973?

I had a vague notion that that's exactly what it was, but I don't remember.

Bummer if it is, that was a cool feature.

I thought this entrance would also be accessible or will that be the north entrance?

There is an elevator being added to the north entrance, this entrance will not be accessible.

Wish it was in a more useful spot but I guess that's all that was open

Love the new entrance! Especially because it's a stair entrance that isn't all concrete. The (metal?) fence makes me think of NYC's iconic stair entrances with the green wrought iron fence.

Gonna be great walking up and down slush and salt covered steps and tracking that into the station after marvelling at the view. Good business for slip and fall plaintiff lawyers though.

There'll still be the same number of entrances of this type at this station. And finally an entrance that isn't like this.

Why is this a concern now, when it's worked fine for 60 years?
