It seems like they have factor usage in the design. The busier stop has more canopy than the less used station. Of course they show the same number of passengers waiting which throws things off.The top image seems to show a full canopy to curb edge extending the length of the platform, but the bottom image shows only two small sections of canopy. Wondering which one it will be, and how this could compare with Crosstown stop design.

Here is a rendering of the LRT stop at Cooksville Go Station with Pedestrian Bridge in the background.
There supposed to be 3 elevators, stairs and escalators for this station. The new RR bridge is suppose to be for 4 tracks with the walkway bridge on the north side.This would be way better were a flight of stairs or even an elevator was leading directly from the LRT platform up to the the GO pedestrian bridge. This is billed as an intermodal hub after all, proper investments should be made here.

Of note, TRILLIUM TRANSIT PARTNERS features many of the companies currently working on the Waterloo ION system.Maybe it's just me but I'm not super familiar with most of those companies.
outside impression from afar, but they seem to be doing a pretty decent/efficient job over there...this should count in their favour...no?Of note, TRILLIUM TRANSIT PARTNERS features many of the companies currently working on the Waterloo ION system.

I had a hard time parsing all the levels of irony in thatMississaugans are sure going to feel like second class citizens once this LRT project starts operating. Surely a one stop subway from, say, Cookesville to Sqaure One would better allow them to retain their dignity.
Unlike Toronto, Mississauga runs the city as a business and that started with Hazel. Given the fact that only 1,100 riders travel one way from Sq One to Cooksville at peak time today, it makes no sense to have a subway.Mississaugans are sure going to feel like second class citizens once this LRT project starts operating.
