Speaking of electronic signs, why haven't they been installed yet at Sheppard-Yonge station?
And why do they not remove the old (and unused for over a decade) signs on the Yonge line that used to give the train destination similar to this:Speaking of electronic signs, why haven't they been installed yet at Sheppard-Yonge station?

That was MANY years ago so I repeat my question "Why are they not removed?" (Particularly when the TTC are doing other work in a station.)I think those signs were only used for six months while the Yonge-University Line and Bloor-Danforth Line had wye operations.
I thought some of them weren't even installed until after wye operations ended in 1966! There were certainly in use and maintained lot later than that ... as evidenced by Kipling being the destination, despite the station not being opened until the 1980s.I think those signs were only used for six months while the Yonge-University Line and Bloor-Danforth Line had wye operations.

Based on that we would have road signs pointing to Berlin (ONT), Port Arthur and York (i.e. Toronto). They are signs and should mean something other than that the TTC has either forgotten to change the bulbs or to take them down!Those signs are history. Leave them up.
As to why they haven't been removed? Because that would require manpower to pull them down.
Surely, leaving the signs in place (which are still correct), looks better than leaving capped wired dangling from the ceiling, or a hole that needs fixing. As far as I can tell, the signs are slowly disappearing as major work takes place in each station.This reflects how shoddy of an organization the TTC is. Keeping useless crap like this up makes the whole operation look backwards and underfunded..which it is..but no need to make it so obvious.
Haven't we hacked enough jobs? You can't complain about things not getting done, and then ask that jobs be hacked.Hack jobs.
Those signs are history. Leave them up.
The ones on the YUS were used every single morning until about 4 years ago.
