Wonder if the person who designed the platform canopies
for the SunRail stations actually lives in Florida?
If that designer lived in Florida for at least two weeks
in the summer he or she would know that the SunRail platform canopies are
completely inadequate. The canopies are too narrow and offer zero protection
from the sun and rain. You almost feel like passing out while waiting 15 or 20
minutes for a train.
Come on SunRail bosses, don’t you care about the riders?
Tri Rail in South Florida, which is identical to SunRail in many ways, has
platform canopies that are wider and more substantial to protect riders from
the elements.
The more we ride SunRail it becomes increasingly apparent
that it was built on the cheap. And we deserve better.
Obviously it would be extremely costly to retrofit the
existing platforms as plans are being made to extend service north to DeLand
and south to Poinciana. But we expect SunRail planners to learn from their
mistakes and design serious canopies for the five stations that will be built
in the Phase 2 expansion.
And after that, they need to go back and replace the
canopies that were installed during the SunRail’s Phase 1.
