If there is any consolation about the Frederick St platform problem it is that regional staff will be one of the groups most inconvenienced by it when getting to work (assuming they take Ion from the south).
The project team's reply suggests that they're simply not going to do Winter Maintenance like they did last winter on all the platforms (which were often pristine and bare when roads, sidewalks and trails nearby were completely impassable). Probably a money-saving measure.
The signage is very hostile, though, and certainly reads as though it's a verboten area. I wondered if people were spooking the operators by getting too close...
