Crazy violent people really need to be kept in a mental facility and not roam around this city. If we keep having some protesters advocating for their human rights, when stuff like this happen don't they feel ashamed.

Broadview Station this morning around 8:00 am because of a gun call at Yonge.
Note that the operator put the train out of service, then went back into service (bringing everyone back down to the platform) and then decided to go back out oo service. This lead to the picture below.

Could this be the long-promised 'roofing over' of Davisville with housing on top?

Woman dead, another seriously injured in High Park subway stabbings
Toronto police say one man is in custody and can’t say if the women knew the attacker.www.thestar.com
Likely another nutter off their meds, probably already known to police as an EDP. I’m tired of the loons in this city. Time to bring back the padded cells. But we‘ve seen this path all to well before…. Found NCR, institutionalized for perhaps 24-36 months, then halfway house, then back on the street.
Yesterday when I was going through Warden Station in the morning there was a "resident" talking to herself and uttering slurs. The Collector called her over and asked if she had been drinking again or if she had booze on her.
I have seen this woman be "evicted" from Warden Station several times over the past few months and most recently saw her with her sleeping bag unfurled in the women's washroom next to the heater. She is known to regular users of the station.
This morning when the train I was on turned back at Broadview, there was a homeless person and all their belongings sleeping on the train, oblivious to the fact the train turned back. I noticed him as the train was reversing towards the centre track.
My point is that this is a more common issue than people think and there needs to be systemic change to resolve it.

This is why I take my car to work when not WFH, even though the TTC is convenient at both ends. I may sit in traffic, but I've got my thermos of coffee and my favourite book series from Audible, and am nutter-free. What could possibly incentive me to take the TTC?

I was dreading the thought of having to walk from Broadview to St George again. I did that once before when there was a fire at Yonge and it took me over an hour.

Of course it's a transit announcement as its happening on a TTC property with Min of Transportation there; is it 'roofing over"? We will see.

Here we go. Though NOT made at Davisville.
TORONTO, Dec. 9, 2022 /CNW/ - Today, the Honourable Chrystia Freeland, Deputy Prime Minister of Canada and Minister of Finance; the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities; the Honourable Caroline Mulroney, Ontario's Minister of Transportation and Minister of Francophone Affairs; and His Worship John Tory, Mayor of the City of Toronto, announced joint funding of up to $1.5 billion for the expansion and rehabilitation of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC)'s Bloor-Yonge Subway Station.
With the funding announced today, the City of Toronto will be able to expand and rehabilitate the existing subway station to improve efficiency and capacity and reduce overcrowding during rush hours. Work will include the construction of a second platform on Line 2 for eastbound service, an expansion of the Line 1 northbound and southbound platforms, new elevators, escalators and stairs, and construction of a new accessible entrance and exit on Bloor Street East.
Once complete, this project will increase the station's capacity and accessibility. These improvements will enable more Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) residents to use public transit to get to and from their destination, reduce gridlock on our roads, and help the TTC accommodate a projected growth in ridership.

The TTC does not need Transit Police, nor will they get them as the Toronto Police will not abide the jurisdictional overlap. What should happen is that the Transit Constables should be replaced one for one with regular Toronto police, with 50% of that budget going into the police budget, and 50% flowing through the TTC to the police in exchange for a set minimum quote of officer deployment.
Fare Enforcement, which is negligible should be see its budget cut by 1/2 to fund social worker and mental health worker teams to do outreach, both on their own and in support of police action to see that people are getting the help they need.
