Salt erodes bridges. Salt is the reason why the gardiner expressway fails and why Montreal needs to deal with its crumbling bridges. A better alternative would be sand. But go has always used too much salt because they are worried about liability. But salt is no one's friend and the point of this website has always been to point out and address concerns of passengers which I think a good job actually done here.samnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-74810120470055958502017-01-23T13:17:55.353-05:002017-01-23T13:17:55.353-05:00Actually, this is worth complaining about 100%. Ye...Actually, this is worth complaining about 100%. Yes, Milton needs better parking, has for years. But the Salt issue is also serious on two fronts: 1) The amount of money that is literally thrown out the window. There is no need for the platforms to literally be coated in the stuff. The could reduce their annual salt budget by 1/3 easily. And 2) That stuff is horrible on the environment. Where do you think that run-off goes when the salt dissolves? You think it magically disappears? No, it ends up in the groundwater and lakes and rivers. Is it needed? Yes, to a certain extent, and the amount used by Metrolinx is ridiculous to say the least. There have been studies that show rivers and lake are actually becoming salianated because of this. If you want your freshwater to turn into salt water, than please tell Metrolinx to keep it up. Of course, Metrolinx is only part of the problem, Salt is overused by society in general. Well over half the time, sand is a perfectly acceptable alternative.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-49715424962769365472017-01-23T07:51:48.985-05:002017-01-23T07:51:48.985-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.CJ Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12106214882283938274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-2506996680296994092017-01-23T07:51:35.716-05:002017-01-23T07:51:35.716-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.CJ Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12106214882283938274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-60597724064041296472017-01-23T07:50:45.792-05:002017-01-23T07:50:45.792-05:00I have communicated the milton issues directly man...I have communicated the milton issues directly many times :) I'm not sure why you would assume I haven't, and I'm not sure why you are getting so angry as well.
