Kipling: Sorry 70s fans, the orange has to go. Also the stairs to the south parking lots aren't very safe--a lot of cracked tiles last time I was there.
Islington: Mentioned previously, but with a focus on the concourse. The platform levels would benefit from a tidying, particularly the eastbound track wall, which is open to the elements in one section.
Dundas: Lose the highlighter-yellow tiles. I cannot emphasize this enough.
Osgoode and St Patrick: Redesign the guts out of them please, but not the designs proposed. Tone them down a bit so they don't contrast so starkly with the other stations. They can be tastefully redone and still look contemporary.
Museum: Finish the job already started. New floors, new ceilings, finished panelling on the trackside walls, and do something about the concourse so it blends. While you're at it, spruce up what's already been done so it doesn't look so half-assed.
St George: More platforms. In heavy traffic you're taking your life in your hands walking along that platform. Same goes for Union (though they're slowly working on it); busy stations should not have narrow centre platforms.
Spadina: Find another way to eliminate the ten-mile hike from B-D to U-S and Spadina car platforms. The moving walkway was breakdown-prone and slow as treacle, so that's no good.
All stations: Pick a style and stick with it!!! There are far too many stations that have two or three different styles throughout, and it's not a good look. Some of the designs may be ugly as sin, but at least they'll be uniformly ugly if they're used throughout.
