From having a detailed look at the site plan / renderings of the transit hub, I realized that the trail link actually includes a new bridge over King St — it doesnt use the platform that is part of the rail grade separation bridge that was done. Presumably thats going to be part of this trail link up (since it would otherwise be a dead end), but does the $3m cost seem to include that?
Also, even with the bridge, it ends at GO Train level — the transit hub was to include outdoor stairs to take you to and from the platform. But it seems odd to build those stairs now since they were very much a part of the transit hub. Anyone know what the plan is here?

After driving past this a few times now, the current construction does not include a new bridge from the trail to the transit hub. Instead, the trail runs down the slope next to the UW School of Pharmacy (on the left side of the ROW in that last image), connecting up with the King St ROW at about the LRT station
