I don't know where the image you quoted is from, but it's at best misleading.

The Kitchener line can support 15 minute service to ... I dunno...probably Georgetown. But west of that, into Kitchener, there is only a single line, and Metrolinx is adding bypass tracks, that isn't enough to support 15 minute bi-directional service. The overpass isn't the limiting factor.

Right now it doesn't. And while 15-minute headways all the way to Kitchener isn't part of Go Expansion or OnCorr or whatever it's called these days, Metrolinx has never said that they'd never scale up to that.

This fly-over, while not a must-have for either the hourly two-way, all-day service or the half-hourly peak time/direction service, it is a pretty damn nice nice-to-have that will make it easier to schedule passenger vs. freight trains through Bramalea/Georgetown corridor as well as decreasing the trip time by allowing the GO trains to run at faster speeds through it.
