A stop that can be accessed from both sides. That's a first in TO.

Or, at least in that rendering, it just happens the station spans from one intersection to another.

Heat goes up, cold goes down. Better to have the heaters at floor level (in-floor heating best).

Not in this case. You're thinking of convective heating, like a furnace that heats the air. These are radiant heat sources, you just need to be in line of sight.

This article is a bit spinny since they are trying to sell you their line of heaters, but the principles are correct

Personally, would rather have the heat directed at my cold feet than the top of my hat.

Radiant heating works on the principle of photons, it doesnt go up or down. It goes where you point it.

How is this different than the old radiant heaters you used to get in unheated bathrooms? They were always very high (so people didn't accidentally burn themselves).

Once the air is heated at the ceiling, the heat will stay up near the ceiling. Having radiant floors will heat the air at the floor which will then flow up.

Those old radiant heaters didn't seem to heat the air near the ceiling more than 6 feet below. I think you are confusing convection and radiant heating here.

You are mistaking the type of radiant heat.

The heaters I posted in the image do not heat anything until the photons from it become in contact with something, in this case a human body.

It directly heats the person, versus air molecules heating someone like a radiant heated floor.

Its much more efficient in an open air environment.

Heated flooring is great for clearing snow and preventing ice, but in an open air environment they do almost nothing to heat a person.

Wait, so you’re saying we shouldn’t be heating up all the air in the atmosphere when it’s -30°?

Things must be slow in the Crosstown - we just discussed station depth, and now we are talking about heating?

Next we’ll be talking about the type of paint that will be used.

Carpeting or hardwood flooring?

I'm pretty sure that it will be tile.

Slow like the line itself! ba dum tss

From the tile clearance centre. All mixed or broken pieces.

But seriously, it will not be marble, like they have in other metro/subway/lrt stations around the world.
