ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

Cite please. I don’t believe there are more than a couple of Toronto subway stations where one can reach the platforms in a wheelchair without using a required elevator (interesting trivia question: which one or ones?); ramps are not provided as a backup.

Quote:Hindsight also suggests that it may have been a risk, with people taking shortcuts and cutting holes in fences, or by-passing fences that would need to have been built to keep people off of the yard tracks. While I have only seen minimal activity in the yards, it is there, and some idiot is bound to be run over by a slow moving train.

Where would these hypothetical trespassers be going? A quick look at the map suggests to me that a combination of no destination with normal fencing would mean an almost total absence of trespassing.
