It's not partially correct - it's completely correct.


First off, there is nothing that will prevent graffiti. There are coatings that ease its removal, but there is nothing that can be done to prevent it short of banning paint.

Second off, as pointed out above, the only better solution is a tunnel. If you want to advocate for that, go nuts.

Third off, you really are a fool if you conflate explanations of options with people's positions on a matter.

I’m not the one that said the project was using anti graffiti materials. Metrolinx did. You clearly haven’t attended or shown any interest in the community besides trolling this page and suggesting that the same old junk that Mx did ten+ years ago is “good” in 2025 when they outright lied to the community about their overpriced panels of glass that have zero sound absorption qualities and are covered in graffiti SIX+ years before the project will even be complete!. Check the facts and pull all the meeting minutes because it’s clear you never attended any community sessions and never rallied for better.

I prefer to not have low standards and zero aspirations toward excellence in design. There are literally hundreds of other ways this could have been done but I digress bc you suggest that graffiti is to be expected and have clearly never travelled to Europe or Asia all of whom have living examples of what this could’ve been. Cheers to crap at the priciest cost in the world!

To add to the above, I would concur that it is probably a decision on inaction or impossibility (by Metrolinx). They are not responsible for corridors outside their own, so removing elsewhere may be a challege...As I posted above, the graffiti is said that it can be removed from the panels. I'm not certain we have evidence that it cannot be removed, but simply that they choose to not; why is not known at this point.

I'm curious @416InTrouble, what is the Metrolinx response when you ask them to remove the graffiti as the specified locations?
 
They could maintain and paint over them (glass is a bizarre choice). Or do what was asked of them and not put in a concrete canyon.

That’s cute. The notion that Mx should actually responds to constituents is such a novel idea.

No it isn't. They regularly respond to my inquiries.

To add, I decided to ask about graffiti along LSE. And they already responded. As I note, whether they take action or not remains to be seen.

Yup. You literally just proved my point: - picking up the phone is NOT a response - Taking action is and they Don’t.

ML does have a graffitti response protocol. Tags that have "hate content" get rapid priority.

Everything else gets done once in a while....but would you rather have a maintainer fixing the track, or removing tags ? Especially where the tag demands track and time to address?

I'd also imagine they give it a lower priority in winter, and would just wait until spring to clean it up. How long has said graffiti been there?

I highly doubt track maintainers also do graffiti removal.

This is such a silly reply honestly. First of all the OL isn’t even in operation yet so there is NOTHING in the way…. Second of all, are your expectations really that low? Like this is ok for you when they said it wouldn’t happen? and third of all do you really think it’s the same teams who perform these functions? My Goodness. Expect more
