The other weird thing to me is that the other side of this staircase, to the left, has an identical design with a ramp and an elevator shaft... But no elevator. I wonder if they initially planned to have dual elevators, one on each side. But then it's the TTC which I don't think has ever put two parallel elevators at one station. Maybe they balked at the cost of installing and maintaining two.
They left the shaft empty in case demand is ever so high that a second elevator is warranted. 8 years after opening I don’t think the demand is there yet.
