Oh, I'm sure they have the best of intentions and it'll happen as soon as, well, Ford gets out of office and they get someone with half a brain in there.
Meanwhile, hmm, maybe some kind of petition? They could put those motorized ramps in. You know, like the ones they have for shopping carts in certain huge stores.
Except of course you aren't allowed ON the motorized ramp with your shopping cart so that probably wouldn't work either. Dammit.
Yeah, probably an elevator would be the best but that thing is gonna get awfully choked up at rush hour. Maybe a letter to the transit authority (cc'd to the mayor's office like it would do any good) signed by the housing associations of each of the various appropriate apartment blocks or whatever. Plus a petitions left in the lobbies of each, and at the station itself.
That's a pretty serious disconnect from reality. In the States I believe one could enforce the installation of an elevator via the Americans with Disabilities Act, but I'm not sure Canada or Ontario has something similar yet. We probably do, but it's probably completely toothless and would need to go before the Supreme Court to get enforced. And who has that much energy?
Hah, maybe try the petition/letter and if that doesn't work, take a class-action lawsuit against the TTA for having stations that aren't all fully accessible. Pretty sure all public buildings/services are supposed to be, y'know, accessible. It might light a fire under their butts if nothing else.
