Nice to see tha MNR allowed for platform expansion in the
future. That rare in most new transit construction projects.

In reply to Emily. Yes, thanks! And it is, indeed, behind the tree. :-)

In reply to Jeff M.. Does this make a little more sense? :)

In reply to Emily. So in that second photo, would the area shown in the first photo be behind the tree on the right, or on the opposite side of the building?

In reply to Jeff M.. On the new portion of the station, on the west side of the tracks. The blocked off entrance is to the left of the stairwell up to the waiting area. In this photo where the fence is on the right would be where another platform could be put in.

I’m trying to figure out where that “stairwell to nowhere” is located in the context of the rest of the structure, and how it would lead to another platform. It’s not clear from the photos.
