LRT Safety

What is using TW really going to do? Yes, there are dirty people using LRT. What are they going to do? Tell them to take a shower? Lol.

More Churchill Connectors and less Bay Enterprise Square hallways. It's also why I'm eager for Parks Phase II to start since I remember seeing a new entrance for Corona as part of their plans.

Also less half-assed-renovated LRT entrances

@trevorhayden You can report a variety of bylaw infractions, crimes, and behavioural issues to Transit Watch. Open drug use, harassment of other riders/customers, being passed out/asleep within a fare payment zone, littering, people in need of medical attention for any reason.

Being "dirty" wouldn't be a reason to make a report to Transit Watch, but the very common harassment of women would be a great reason.

I think some natural light from the South/SE would really help this entrance.

Also, I think the underground retail booths have been a failed experiment. It would probably be better if some of these booths were demolished to provide better sight lines.

A lot of this is because King Thunderbird Centre hasn't opened yet. When it opens, most of the trouble will end.

I dearly wish that was true. It will help a fair bit but there will still be alot of issues.

Even when King Thunderbird opens we will have gone from 4 drop in centers in the core to 1. The number of people on the street has increased fourfold since the original Boyle Street closed. And the housing market rise has decimated the bottom of the market, there are no places to house people straight from the street.

King Thunderbird will make a positive impact, but the problem is way too big for any one organization to end. Only the province has the power and resources to make a real dent.
