So you need overpasses/underpasses for them anyway. For smaller stations they will usually have underpasses, with both ramps and stairs as options. Bigger stations usually have overpasses with retail on the upper floors.
The overpass concept that I saw at Regional HQ today showed what I thought was a ramp only. I seemed the best way to go, imho, but there was an "all knowing" citizen buttonholing Region staff to know why the ramp option/Waterloo St did not conform to "mandatory design standards". Said "all knowing" citizen seemed both exasperated and very pleased with himself that the Region staffer had no idea what he was talking about. Joys of public consultations.....
There are two separate overpass options, one with a ramp and another with stairs and an elevator. Those two along with the underpass option are the three under consideration.
