The problem with any type of shelter is space there is only so much space on the island they can occupy or on a city sidewalk before they encroach on impeding people from being able to get around them normally or with strollers, wheelchairs, and other mobility devices.
I was actually walking across that intersection a couple of weeks ago and was shocked when I saw the state they were in. They were so bad that I was like 'huh, they must be running buses in this route at the moment' because the tracks really didn't look able to function but then I looked down bathurst and saw a streetcar coming up and it glided by without even a noise. But the point remains, they are in a truly awful state at Bathurst/Richmond
A lot of it probably has to do with the winter we have had without the multiple freeze and thaws along with freazzing rain. What happens is the water makes its way into cracks and when it freezes again it cracks the concrete and the roads.

Oh totally, I understand my freeze thaw action? It is just particularly bad there
Probably because they haven't replaced that section for awhile. I would guess that they are waiting on when the city does the work on the bridge to do a track and concrete replacement on Bathurst Street.
That's probably true BUT that's no excuse for what looks like a VERY dangerous piece of road for those on 2 wheels and not good for those on 4 either. It is not listed in TOInView either - and that goes to 2020.
The current schedule (which will surely slip) to have enough streetcars to stop bus substitutions is 2026. I thought the new tracks was planned before then.
