That said, I doubt we'd see that happen for a long time...especially here. While there is some density in the area, it's primarily townhouse complexes and single family homes. It's a 10 minute walk from R&T station at most or a short trip on the number 9. Apart from the winter months, that's perfectly walkable.
Fair point, this one itself is not that far. I just generally think of having lived a bit west of the former ION stop on Parkside and would think those people might be a bit of a long walk to the R&T in that case.
Frankly, they should build an infill station at that location. It would even be hard, most of the connections are already there, and with it being ballasted tracks, it wouldn't even be hard to move them.
