It needs an enclosed structure with some heat, and it also needs a footbridge to cross the tracks, both for safety and to save commute time. A raised platform would be great too, to help keep passengers safe.

Since you mentioned Suffern, the signage is definitely NJ Transit standard (ugly) signage, although the canopy and platform area feels like Port Jervis line. It’s kind of a weird station (not to mention hard to get to :).
