stainless steel historical improvement project

Each shelter will have 55-inch digital displays and new windscreens to provide protection from the elements. Stainless-steel platform shelters, similar those at Silver Line stations, equipped with USB charging ports are also being installed. In addition, all existing stair handrails are being replaced with LED-illuminated handrails. The new lights are being placed in the same locations and match the type of the existing lights to preserve the original station design, but the use of new LED technology will reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs. New lighting will be installed at each station, greatly increasing the brightness at each station. The tiles are produced through a process called wire-cutting, which gives each tile texture and provides better traction in wet conditions. New tiles are being placed throughout the stations – on the platforms and inside the mezzanines. Stations will feature new eight-inch hexagonal tiles that are slip-resistant and match the original station tile design. Scroll to the bottom of the page for a complete list of improvements.

Below are some highlights of the improvements being made at the six stations. Stations will have new stainless-steel platform shelters conveniently equipped with USB charging ports, new Passenger Information Displays (PIDS) with larger 55-inch screens, along with new platform intercom speakers for clearer public announcements and emergency notifications.
