Also why I think that the light rail vehicle yard at Mt. Dennis should be named the "Kodak Barns".

yes that's what I was going to say after my first post but had trouble with the post. That makes senseI'm pretty sure it's to prevent snow and ice from formulating on the platforms to help protect against people slipping onto the tracks and dying. Worthwhile IMHO.
Not just that, but the phrase "Kodak moment" entered the English lexicon as well.Guess you don't know what photographic film was.
As late as 1976, Kodak commanded 90% of film sales and 85% of camera sales in the U.S.. Believe it or not, Kodak developed a digital camera in 1975, the first of its kind, the product was dropped for fear it would threaten Kodak's photographic film business. Digital cameras did in fact.

ridiculous to have space heaters. Why not have them in all bus shelters then
Heated shelters would be a nice touch. So far I am a little bit concerned about the difference in design between the underground "stations" and above ground "stops" leading to an inferiority complex, because we all know that's already a thing. Heated shelters and guaranteed transit signal priority could go a long way.
Good thing they aren't adding too many Pokéstops to them.I think the shelters for the stops are likely to bee the same as the ones we see on Queens Quay, Spadina, and St. Clare. The only thing they seem to plan to be adding is WiFi to them. Heating them would be a big expense and may attract homeless poel to camp out in them.

If they can heat most condos, office buildings, even house driveway entrances and exits for their motor vehicles, we can heat the platforms for the second class citizens who use public transit.
It's time that transit riders be first class citizens.
heating the ground to melt snow and ice does not provide any heat to keep someone warm as there aren't any walls or floors that are insulated to radiate the heat. I relly don't think Metrolinx is going to spend money building sheds at Transit stops to keep people warm in the winter, they will just have to suck it up like streets and bus riders do. Maybe they might have a small structure with heaters in it like some go train platforms do but with them being in the middle of the street as opposed to an isolated platform by a railroad track they could still have problems with homeless poel wanting to live/ crash in them.
