I expect they will meet those standards, but unfortunately I wouldn't hold my breath for the whole thing to be covered. Personally I hope the region will try to push metrolinc to include a full shed. I just don't have much faith in the metrolinx. If it was a parking garage metrolinx will bust out all the bells and whistles, but I expect bare bones on this.
Sadly, you’re probably right.
One nice thing about a complete cover is that it completely eliminates snow clearing of the platforms. So you have absolutely no snow at all on the platform, even with absolutely no snow clearing. Any sort of partial cover doesn’t do this — you still end up with parts that need to be cleared, and with snow getting tracked into the covered areas by boots.
