Yeah, it's not AODA (accessibility legislation) compliant. Embarrassingly so.

Now one station has both elevators and escalators out of service, and the stations are obscenely deep. Thanks Metrolinx.

@mayintoronto What a joke. Metrolinx is staggeringly incompetent.

[mayintoronto@beige.party]

@michaelgemar And for construction, there are literally standards for these things. This is just downright negligence.

[michaelgemar@mstdn.ca]

@mayintoronto It makes we wonder what *other* standards were skipped.

[mayintoronto@beige.party]

@michaelgemar 6 years behind for a reason!

[michaelgemar@mstdn.ca]

@mayintoronto I’d have thought shoddiness would be faster.

@mayintoronto Honestly suspect that like the rolling stock, sitting unused for 10 years didn't do any favours to the equipment.

Get it fixed is right good, smashing elevator oligopoly and adopting ISO elevator codes as equivalent is even better.
