It seems to be in the middle of no where. Is the plan to make this area a parking lot for commuters? There is nothing within easy walking distance and it doesn't appear to give good access to the R&T area.
I've believed for a long time that the right place for the stops is at Columbia Street, and at University Avenue. No stop at Seagram, none at the current placement near Phillip. It would make for better bus connections which is important for LRT. You still need to walk down University to get to WLU, but there are buses that go that way all the time anyway.
A stop behind McCormick would have been nice too.
