"Divide the Transit Hub infrastructure into two integrated delivery streams and allocate development responsibility to the most appropriate parties. The first stream would include off-site transit infrastructure in the Metrolinx rail corridor. These off-site components include: The GO/VIA Rail platform and canopy;"
The east-west connection is on Kitchener's master plan from 2012.
I last saw it referenced in the Iron Horse Trail survey as a "primary proposed type 1" trail (whatever that is) but both maps show it north of the tracks not south like in the new site plan.
My guess is that space north of the tracks needs to be reserved for a second platform and possible third track (if there's room).
You can't expand into the building, so those variables stay on the north side.
Trail users would just have to cross the tracks.
