I walked past there last weekend. As far as I can tell, the pedestrian beg button actually gives pedestrians their own phase (drivers do not get a green in any direction if peds are crossing), which makes sense because the crossing is set so far back from the intersection.
In fact, it's the one time pedestrian beg buttons matter and are properly used. Of course, we've been trained to ignore them by every other intersection in the city, so...we'll see how well that works.
Frankly, I think it borders on criminal the sidewalk situation on Ottawa approaching the station. But that's another story.
