Are more screens new? There's certainly other stations that could benefit from more screens.
Or perhaps something more visible and/or larger letters.

I’m not sure how many screens Dundas had before, I remember seeing two sets on the northbound platform. They are replacing the original old screens, seems like the new ones are a smaller variation of the ones found in the TYSSE stations.

The screens that they removed and have replaced had something to do with the cameras at the edge of the platform for one person train operation. They were in the way of the driver being able to see all of the platform in their monitor.

I'm not sure how you'd ever see all the platform at Dundas from one end of the train! After the train doors close, the platform is packed full of people walking down the platform. And many more people who have just missed the train who are already entering the platform.
You'd need a multi-camera system really, to be safe.

That's what they have. Along the platform there are multiple cameras along it just for the driver to see every door on the platform.

So I assume there's displays of this for the driver, in the cab I can no longer see into!
Great!

Yes. They use the same system on line 4 as well.

The TTC is testing out enhanced wayfinding, floor and platform decals, and directional changes to escalators and fare gates at Dundas, St Andrew and St George stations.

Not sure about the wayfinding aspect, but the fare gates at Dundas has gone unidirectional, which frankly should have been the practice from day one (Union Station, I am looking at you).

I don't know if its done yet, but St. Andrew was losing its 'booth' in favour of more gates.
A lot of staff raised concerns in respect of safety, apparently there will now be some kind of break room they can use.

This is an astonishingly stupid ad. Who approved this?

That's not a "wayfinding issue", that has more to do with the need for more gates at rush hour.
As I understand it, most of the stations on the University Line will have this done over the next year or two.

That is part of the 'Station Modernization' program which includes the way finding and other changes.
And yes, the intent is to roll it out to additional stations.
Additional programs are looking at enhanced vertical circulation.
St. Andrew is on the list for a 'second' (or third) exit, a second independent path, which serves fire code but also additional capacity; currently that is not part of this project and is penciled in for the late mid to late 2030s, but may get bumped up.
St. George is getting attention because its set to follow Bloor-Yonge into the massive expansion plan (additional platforms) and so lots of info is desired there on what can be made to work.
