Blair Station Elevators Closure
Please note that persons with mobility issues who need access to these elevators are being asked to push any of the EMERGENCY CALL BOX BUTTONS
Please be advised that beginning June 14 until August 30, 2010, the local and south elevators at Blair Station will be closed down at the same time for modernization. The north elevator will remain in regular operation for the duration of this work.
Customers who today use the local elevator will travel between the mall and Blair Station via the existing sidewalks. Signage will be put in place to direct customers accordingly.
Transit Operations will manage customer impacts resulting from the south elevator closure until the elevator is restored to normal service. This will include the provision of on-site customer assistance when required by routing service from the local platform to the eastbound Transitway platform or vice-versa, and informing bus operators so they can provide assistance such as re-routing customers who may be affected.
Please refer to this diagram for reference.
