ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
The right-of-way is so wide here because this is where the Borden stop will be, necessitating a double-sided station surrounded by rails. Depressions are likely related to getting people off of the platform. The platform is raised relative to the roadway/sidewalks so as to allow for flush boarding and to keep cars off of the tracks. But the depression might well be part of how people get back onto sidewalks at the north and south ends of the platform (assuming it's not just pedestrian accessible from one end).

On the other hand, maybe this is a vehicle traffic crossover point that we're not aware of.
