That entrance was where a foreign student on his way to school was fatally stabbed (or was it shot) by a stranger some 2 1/2 years ago (completely random). No doubt that incident prompted the safety enhancement.

Looked it up, as I didn't recall the details either, it was Shot.
21-year-old student was on way to work when shot dead outside Toronto subway station
The man shot and killed at an entrance to a Toronto subway station on Thursday evening was a 21-year-old student from India who was on his way to work, family members say.
Took place at 5pm in the month of April, sunset at that time of year is ~7:50pm. So I don't imagine extra lighting would play much of a role in prevention. Perhaps the cameras would have made a difference.... I'm all for improving the space, but I do think we sometimes oversell the value of certain measures.

Yes, now I remember. On the way to work, not school. Agreed that no extra lighting could’ve prevented that, but I suppose it would give a sense of security to people using that entrance.Looked it up, as I didn't recall the details either, it was Shot.
