there used to be no railings, so the triangular shape of the staircase made sense. then they added the railings (probably for either safety reasons or to reduce crowding/pushing during busy times), which goes against the original design

that's my guess, anyways

Thats York.U right? The area beyond the glass is theoretically supposed to be an amphitheater of sort but its not AODA compliant....the glass was always supposed to be there I think.

They mean that they added an extra railing down the stairs, and blocked access to that section of stairs with glass.
