Yes, the old signs will be removed. What's so difficult about preserving them at the ROM where Arthur's papers are, donating them to Paul Arthur's family, or giving them away to transit fans? Why throw them in the trash when they could be preserved as a piece of work of one of Canada's famous designers?]]> http://www.blogto.com/city/2007/07/fix_me_can_you_read_the_signs/#c202202 http://www.blogto.com/city/2007/07/fix_me_can_you_read_the_signs/#c202202 Toronto, City Mon, 09 Jul 2007 09:49:39 PDT http://www.blogto.com/city/2007/07/fix_me_can_you_read_the_signs/#c198627 http://www.blogto.com/city/2007/07/fix_me_can_you_read_the_signs/#c198627 Toronto, City Fri, 06 Jul 2007 08:23:16 PDT remove and destroy" the old ones. The TTC is in a rather sorry state across the board, so if improving the signage is something they're actually willing to do I say let 'em. Yes, it may mean removing and destroying some "priceless" arrangements of tiles but unless there's a museum or storage facility willing to take them, and money for the painstaking removal and reconstruction, go ahead and remove and destroy them. And one more time, because it's outrageous (-ly funny): remove and destroy!]]> http://www.blogto.com/city/2007/07/fix_me_can_you_read_the_signs/#c198616 http://www.blogto.com/city/2007/07/fix_me_can_you_read_the_signs/#c198616 Toronto, City Fri, 06 Jul 2007 07:43:18 PDT are going to be used. This is a de facto acknowledgement that the current TTC pylon signs suck. Which they do.

But seriously, whatever. The tiles are also not worth the effort given that the original design was so lackluster. Please don't hinder the TTC's weak attempt at progress - we only get such efforts once a decade around here.]]> http://www.blogto.com/city/2007/07/fix_me_can_you_read_the_signs/#c197903 http://www.blogto.com/city/2007/07/fix_me_can_you_read_the_signs/#c197903 Toronto, City Thu, 05 Jul 2007 16:02:48 PDT http://www.blogto.com/city/2007/07/fix_me_can_you_read_the_signs/#c197850 http://www.blogto.com/city/2007/07/fix_me_can_you_read_the_signs/#c197850 Toronto, City Thu, 05 Jul 2007 14:46:22 PDT @Jonathan: "Signs" was never recorded by ELO.
