The challenge is that you still have to walk to the station. So you’re already dressed warm. Doors don’t matter much

Helps keep the stairs from being icy, keeps the station from not being too cold, reduces heating costs.

I wonder if this is the result of Jaywalking because of the beg buttons. Personally I think the city has done an incredible disservice on compliance when people are given the choice of waiting 3ish minutes to cross the street after hitting the button because its not automatic or jaywalking.

Jaywalking is an art form something I learned growing up in London. Stepping in front of a tram because you think you are hard done by isn’t part of it.

I guess we won’t know for sure, but the LRT is not meant for crossing at spots where there are no traffic crossings.

Some crossings like 99 St at 102 Ave are terrible, easily wait 3 minutes there. The pedestrian crossings at Strathearn aren't bad, but they still invite the temptation of non-compliance.

I understand good old fashioned jay walking can be a protest against and response to how transportation planning so often badly ignores and neglects pedestrians.

It is no fun waiting and standing for a light to change, especially when it is very cold or otherwise unpleasant out, but for goodness sake look both ways and make sure it is safe to go before you do.
