It's the chair colour that should have been on the trains.

Maybe a bit of a homage to Toronto's red subway benches (that remain in a few stations).

`I wonder if they will openn part of it at some point to funnel passengers to the go train platform so they can redo the current gate line at Kenedy so that the entrance to the LRT platfom will be in the fare paid area.

geez this is done and gathering dust... just infuriates me more on how mismanaged this project is.

The fact that we aren’t getting station flyovers means that we can only see station pictures through people who work there. I don’t even know if they’re planning to do Cedarvale yet, taken from the fact they were taking suggestions on what stations they would do next.

I'm confused by a few things in those two pictures.
- the colour of the roundel visible in the reflection in picture one. I can see a light blue line 3 and a purplish line 5??
- the mismatch between the hallway capacity and the stairs at the end of it. Are they going to extend this to somewhere??

Its distorted. Line 5 is orange. Line 3 you're seeing is probably the accessible sign (it's light blue).

I'd guess it's a regular 2 and 5, and the colour of what it is reflecting and the lights is pushing the green to blue, and the orange to purple.

The hallway connects the existing station concourse via the passageway leading to the community centre/GO platforms, which is what most passengers would transfer to. The staircase, on the other hand, takes you up to street level.

Are you saying that door at the end of the hall is on a temporary wall or that something is around a corner at the end of the hall?

I guess we were looking at different reflections! Picture 1 is the large wall with art for me.

As usual, no LRV's out testing when I visited the line today as a crew was doing trackwork at Sloane station switches area.
The empty GO Station waiting area at Kennedy station cannot be open until the line opens.
Those nice photos of the connection between the LRT and the subway are still behind boarded up entrances.
I'm not sure who the waterline and storm water system are for on the south side of the main Kennedy LRT entrance.

On the current concourse level at Kennedy subway station below the bus bays there is a hallway that is currently an unpaid walkway to the go train platform However along it there are two entrances to the new LRT platforms. At some point they will have to make that hallway into a fare paid area because the would be no way to access the LRT from the fare paid zone or for people who get off the LRT to access the subway or buses at Kennedy without having to go through the current faregate lines which would be way to small for the capacity of the LRT to be useful or safe.
Also, beside the current entrance from the parking lot and kiss and ride area there is another entrance from the new building as well. Ther problem is nobody sems to know how exactly all of these areas are supposed to tie into each other or when it’; s going to happen. Personally, I think they need to open the new areas aside from the LRT platforms as soon as posable so that pole can get used to the new traffic patterns in the station.

that sounds completely dumb and stupid if that is the case it should open before the line so that people can get used to new routes before they open the LRT. If this is only your opinion with no facts then don't bother posting it because it adds nothing helpful to the conversation at all.

The entrance photo was one reason why I visited the station today to see if it was open or still boarded up like it has been on all my trips through the station. There are two in that corridor with the east one being haft the size as the west one.
Again, another example of not meeting riders/users' needs and getting used to the new route. The accessibly user is getting the shaft with no working elevators these days there.
