The land is there and The Boardwalk already is one of the biggest transit hubs. Move the bus terminal off of Glasgow and there would be a well integrated connection.

I mean, sure...but like all GO things, this puts the car before the horse...or rather the parking lot before everything.
I.e., building it at boardwalk would be done because there's tons of space for parking, instead of because there's a good land use plan in place to develop lots of dense urban fabric around the station.
I.e., the opposite of what GO says they want to do, and also the opposite of good transit planning practice.
Yeah, it's unclear to me that boardwalk could be intensified without some major redesigning. This doesn't really make sense as a node for intensification.
