Design elements will:
Help riders recognize what
stop they are at while visually
distinguishing that they are
riding the Crosstown line
Complement the common
elements and strategies of the
underground station section of
the line

Pylon Signs
Pylon Signs will:
Provide immediate recognition

Patterned Platforms
The platform provides an
opportunity to incorporate
a distinctive pattern
treatment
Slight variation from stop
to stop will be considered
Extension of the pattern
into the paving may also
be included
![Page 52: Functional Design Presentation At-Grade Section: Don Mills to Ionview Online Consultation](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042815/55698c19d8b42a673a8b49d4/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

Integrated Design
Design elements
may be integrated
into the stops
through treatments
such as:
Metalwork at
guardrails and
leaning rails
Design treatments
on shelter glass
![Page 53: Functional Design Presentation At-Grade Section: Don Mills to Ionview Online Consultation](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042815/55698c19d8b42a673a8b49d4/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

Accenting the platform at night can enhance a feeling of safety
and comfort.
Consistent
and high
quality
lighting can
enhance stop
design.
