King-Victoria Transit Hub

[Acitta]

In this context, I expect to see a single roof that covers the entire space from one side of the tracks to the other. The only large openings should be at the ends, and possibly narrow openings directly over the tracks (narrower than the tracks) to help with exhaust. No matter the precipitation conditions there should be none falling on the platforms themselves, except possibly right at the ends. This is the level of shelter provided by the train shed at Union Station.

Shelters only over the platforms is better than the nothing we have now, but not really what I expect from a modern train station in a city.

Yeah, if the recently constructed GO stations are anything to go by, that is not what GO platform standards are.

It is up to Metrolinks to build canopies over the tracks if they want to, not the Region. They have certainly done so at other stations recently. Maybe they decided that Kitchener is not busy enough to do it right now.
