The crossing types used for ion are for concrete ties. They wouldn't work with wooden ties, so Park's crossings will likely simply be the asphalt style we see everywhere else. Standard railway tech.
The concrete style we're seeing for ion uses wider ties in the crossing area, and then concrete slabs are set on top of the extensions on rubber pads. The concrete slabs can be lifted off easily if required via hook points recessed into the pads.
The work at Park is to permit GO access to their layover facility from the "other side", since the elevation of the main line at King is being raised.
I really wonder what the timing on the King underpass work will be actually. Maybe there will be one insane weekend push to get the entire stretch raised/realigned so GO can run their next Monday train? That seems like a paramount undertaking.
