Once the new crossing is open at the south end of the platform, it'll basically be the same as what was there before. Temporary inconvenience. Or am I totally missing something?
What you're missing is that when people walk down the west side, from the University, expecting the Central Dr crossing to still exist, it is highly inconvenient to then have to walk all the way back up to Seagram. It's a 450m mistake. More, if they continue south, thinking there might be a new crossing along the new "path" to the TPSS.
People want to have their frustration understood, at the very least.
The detour to go between the halves of the park, is currently not completely terrible. 290m extra compared to before, which is still an annoying walk when you can see through the fence to your destination. When the new crossing opens, it'll be down to 80m of permanent detour, which frankly, is close enough.
