I would assume this is straightforward to do in a station like Dow's Lake where they're using natural walls along the station, but perhaps there's a structural issue hindering this sort of build. Or financial.
Anyway, it'll be another disappointing station. I'm getting tired of walking up and down wet, slick sets of stairs, as was the case yesterday at a number of stations given the weather. I guess Dow's Lake will be similar. |
OC Transpo seems obsessed with using relatively off-the-shelf bus shelters for all their bus loops - and, it seems, Line 2. As you've pointed out, they could achieve much better passenger flow and consistent cover from the elements if they went with custom solutions for some of the stations.
