Attention News Editors:

DON'T HANG AROUND KENNEDY STATION... UNLESS YOU LIKE CLASSICAL MUSIC

TORONTO, March 23 /CNW/ - TTC introduced classical music to Kennedy Station, Thursday, March 19. The pre-recorded music, played over the station's public address system, was recommended in the Community-based Kennedy Station Safety Audit Report. The music is expected to encourage customers, particularly students, to move through the station quickly rather than loiter in groups. TTC Security Staff and Toronto Police have visited schools and met with area community organizations to encourage students to travel responsibly and safely on the TTC. Both the Police and TTC Security are now seen more often in this station. Other Audit Report recommendations, now completed, included a pilot project for a Youth Outreach Worker at the station, the establishment of a TTC Youth Crime Unit and the improvement of sightlines and lighting at the station. -30- For further information: Marilyn Bolton, Media Relations, (416) 393-3741
