Having grown up in Hamilton, with the HSR logo Shield, I have had many people ask me if Hamilton has streetcars, hence the Railway in the name, I've sadly told them , no, Hamilton lost our streetcars MANY years ago....
OK, enough with the reminiscing.....
I came to Toronto almost 2 years ago now, I'm legally blind and I find that the rectangular signs with the white backround with the TTC logo are easier for me to see, (downtown Especially) I DO like the pylon signs, but then I like large print with high contrast.....
I have seen the proposed new design and I HATE it, if it is bright and sunny, I CANT see the bloody thing! it is so small comparatively to the present version that I'm not able to pick it out at a distance....
I like the one at St Patrick Station (north-west corner of Dundas & University) a lot, it is just big enough for me to find it while walking down the street...
I also like the ones at Broadview and Kipling Stations as well...
