Charles St GRT terminal redevelopment

[tomh009]

Those train stations in Germany will have lots of arriving and departing trains. At best, we'll have a GO once an hour. So, indoor shopping makes far less sense than outdoor, in our case.

Round Table (coffee), Dispensary (coffee) -- and Smile Tiger Coffee just N of the current station, at Ahrens St. And this is before some opens up in the Station Park complex. So, coffee in particular isn't in critically short supply.

We'll also have ION LRT trams every 10 minutes and several busses that often, too, so more than what the Charles St terminal had, and Transfers was pretty well used.

The LRT stops will be outside the station, though, so that actually supports my suggestion of having outside-facing retail.
