The Stupidest Accessibility Ramp in the World

Transit accessibility advocates are slamming Metrolinx over a design they say fails to provide full accessibility at a new TTC station. A video posted by the group shows how the station is missing a crucial elevator to connect TTC’s Line 1 to the new Finch West LRT. Riders must go up one full floor (11 feet vertical height) on an exhausting 261-foot ramp that only has two landings to rest on the way. This creates the illusion of accessibility but certainly not the reality of accessibility for people using wheelchairs or walkers, people with chronic fatigue or chronic pain, or parents pushing strollers. The ramp makes a mockery of accessibility.
