Where Does the Osgoode Go?
While the TTC’s e-Alerts have been around for just over a week now, the message just sent out to subscribers (above) marks only the second time that the system has alerted riders when something is back up rather than just when something is down (after all the blackout chaos, we e-mailed Adam Giambrone earlier this week and told him that we thought the mostly missing feature was an important one). Why are trains still skipping Osgoode? Well, there’s this thing: as surveillance cameras watched, a 19-year-old man was shot at the station just before 10:45 a.m. this morning, and he is now at the hospital in serious condition with non-life-threatening injuries. CityNews says that they have “exclusive video captured just moments after the shooting took place,” to be aired at 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. tonight, and if the channel’s coverage of rats in restaurants is any indication, it will totally not be sensationalized or blown out of proportion at all.
