Maybe you misread, but this wasn’t Toronto’s contract to tender in the first place. Metrolinx dropped the ball, Toronto stepped in and offered a solution.

You better hurry! The bus is just coming now...
Clearing snow windrows at transit stops will be done... by Spring.

Walter: You make many good and informative posts BUT you are, again, going overboard with posts of only minor (or no) relevance to the thread in question or ones that are repetitive. I really do not like to "Ignore" UTers but you are on the verge of getting onto my (short) Ignore list! No doubt that will worry you :->

Having snow windrows at transit stops maybe "minor" for you, but not so for the elderly, motorized scooters, walkers, baby strollers, or those with the occasional broken leg. The TTC needs to get a higher priority from Transportation and Councillors so people can get on and off the buses and streetcars without having to have mountain climbing equipment to do so. How can all of us use public transit if we can't get to the bus or streetcar stop or reach a subway station from home?

I am probably older than you and I agree that windrows are dangerous but a photo of an alpine scene (as in your first posting) is no help!

Saw these at Yonge and Bloor earlier. Any idea what they are for?

I’d like to think they’re for something useful, but it just looks like more (stupidly bright) screens for ads.

No funds for the ceiling, so distract by putting up wayfinding screens.

If they snow clearing employees work on minimum wage and forced to forbid their weekends, I’m sure more will get done. That’s not happening in Canada.

probably display screens for the sates of the various line along with elevators as well. They have been adding them to stations recently usually right by the entrance to them so people will know what the status of thigs live when they arrive at the sation.

This makes sense. It was at the top of the Yonge to Bloor NB UP escalator.
Service status is a key thing to see there.

defiantly they have been putting them into all stations recently with at least one at every entrance. Some locations they hang from the celling and others they are mounted as in your picture. My guess is that they're also putting them in locations nearby to areas where people can transfer from one line to another as well.

I bet $100 that at least one screen will be cracked before the end of the year.

If they’re anything like the ones in New York (and I hope they are on this front) they are way, way tougher than you’d imagine.
It’s more likely they’re tagged.
