No, the idea, which I think Dan communicated reasonably clearly, is that the stairs would connect to the bridge. So those who currently cross the bridge to reach the station would cross to a point immediately above the station platform and then take stairs from there down to the platform; people who currently don’t need to cross the bridge would start crossing but before going very far would reach the stairs and go down.
A quick look at photos seems to suggest the amount of vertical separation would be less than almost any Toronto subway station because usually one goes down one long level to a concourse level and then down further to reach platform level; here the platform would be at a level comparable to subway concourse level in a not-very-deep station.
