I didn't see the slide by my other half pointed out on our way home that it can't be the full 6m required because of the utility issue - which basically eliminated the underpass from being a possibility.
While Tokyo may say 4m is fine, here I guess there is a 6m minimum requirement.
Is the 6m width a hard requirement or just a recommendation?
EDIT: The presentation says "Metrolinx recommends an underpass width of six metres" (emphasis mine). So this seems to be a feasible option, even if it doesn't meet the recommendation.
My understanding from the consultations that in order for Metrolinx to approve funding an underpass at a GO station, it needs to meet their standards for an underpass at a GO station. Otherwise the city/region would be on the hook.
