This looks like someone's vision of the future from 1950.

You guys have no idea how annoying it is that there's no general access (other than a locked door) to the ground floor of this station. You have to go into the Pathology building to access the station.

At least you can exit the station directly to ground level.

There is actually a room behind those arched windows. As far as I can tell, it's used for storage. What a wasted opportunity.

Apparently the "franchise agreement" between Clarian and the city requires "public access"...but doesn't say it has to be easy or convenient.

Yeah, and that franchise agreement also says that the public access must be equivalent to the access of Clarian employees, which Clarian does not provide. The trains start running at 5:30am but the Pathology building isn't unlocked to the public until 7am. Lucky for Clarian, no one is ever going to complain about that. Except me. And they just gave me an after-hours access code instead of changing their policy.
