    Bloor St West At Islington Ave West Side Toronto, ON M8X, Canada - Toronto

    Crowding when it rains. Idling ton station platform 7 goes outside for a number Of Miway buses. There is only 1 set of stairs up whic gets crowded enough but when it rains everyone crowds near the top making it impossible for others to get up to get their bus. Not to mention the hazard of the slick steps get particularly with wet pigeon poo making it even more slippery. The reason people crowd the stairs in the rain there's just a couple small shelters and the security enclosure which he isn't sharing. Could it not hurt the TTC to extend the cover of the stairway the length of the platform so people can move out of the stairway to let others through and prevent anyone slipping and getting injured? With winter coming up its just going to increasingly get worse with ice forming from the moisture on the stairs and climber struggling to get out and make their bus.

    By my office on Nashdene RD/Markham Rd, is this track crossing and by the looks of things haven't been used nor any indication they get used with the defunct old caboose blocking the line from the CPR yard.

    For the last year I see vehicles come down the hill and slam to a standstill to cross which vehicles behind them often don't anticipate such a slowdown and themselves need to slam on their brakes. Or vehicles fly over them and the condition o the tracks is a public concern. The rails are breaking up leaving spiky edges which could cause a puncture for a fast driver and the reason drivers go see them slow right down to cross them. It's right at the bottom o the hill do there's even more force on the tires hiring the rails.

    Is there any maintenance planned for this safety hazard?
