I'd be surprised if they even build one at all because it will cost them a lot of money and take more effort to work with the MTO. I mean it would be nice but don't believe that most people living here are going to be transit enthusiasts who want easier access to the LRT. Most people living in these vertical suburbs are going to have cars.
I didn’t say heated; in fact, I suggested it doesn’t need to be heated (it’s still way better than crossing a snowy uncovered bridge above a major highway even if it’s -20ºC in there). But yeah, you’re right, except for the “no benefit” bit. Living there would obviously be better with the bridge than without for many people, and the presence of the bridge can be expected to change the selection of people who live there in the direction of being people who use the LRT.
