‘This will impact accessibility:’ Elevators vandalized at 10 TTC stations

The TTC is investigating after elevators at ten TTC stations were vandalized Tuesday night.

Stuart Green, a spokesperson for TTC, said the vandalism will affect accessibility at these stations for two to four weeks — as the damaged parts are ordered and replaced.
