What’s with this city and it’s odd signage?

Posted by catpaw on May 6, 2008 in Bad Labels, Curiosities, Day in the Life, Rants, Silly Signs, Toronto |

A couple times a week, I pass by an out-of-service escalator. It’s been out of service for about a year now so I don’t pay much attention to it – I’m used to seeing out of order escalators. A sign used to hang on the wall with an estimated repair time – which past 2 months ago.

The sign is gone and replaced with a new one. I’ve never bothered reading the sign until today. You’ll never guess what reason the TTC is giving for the still out of work escalator. Here’s the message (I’ll try to get a photo tomorrow):

  Constricted walkway due to hoarding and ongoing escalator maintenance.

Come on! Is the TTC making fun of us?

Hoarding? 

Seriously, who the hell hoards escalator parts?

Is there an International Escalator Cabal who has cornered the market on parts?

Is there a secret warehouse filled with escalator parts hidden deep in the Canadian tundra?

Really – these questions need to be answered!
