That looks old. Old Stadium Station and CN tracks on either side of the LRT. The last tracks next to Stadium were lifted in 1999 or 2000.

As someone who uses this station regularly, I have to say I have seen the safety/comfort improvements first hand. Our neighbourhood has seen an increase in folks who are on the street and yet the station is safer and feels more comfortable. It's also getting used more.Stadium Station redesign sees calls for service drop by 50%

That being said, the glass shelter panels do get regularly broken, I would be curious to see just how much the city is paying in repair costs to keep replacing those.

Last I heard they're a few hundred bucks to replace + time and labour cost to repair/install them. Maybe it's time to look at smash proof or smash resistent alternatives. Likely more costly initially, but perhaps there's repair and maintenance cost savings over time to make up for it
