Overall, in the redesign of the Go train station, the pedestrian walkway

e: or

under the tracks was removed and replaced with two new levels: one for
pedestrian traffic and one for shopping. In addition, the station's supports
were partially removed and rebuilt.

Before construction, the station had two levels. The upper was where trains
arrived and departed and the lower was a pedestrian walkway passing
ph rou

under the train. A large supporting pillar centred below the tracks, passed
through the level below and was buried deep in the ground beneath it.

During construction, the bottom concourse was dug out and lowered to a
new depth exposing the base of the buried support column. A temporary
support system was built while a section of the main support post was
removed. It was then replaced and reinforced to include a new floor level
between the upper and lower decks. The lowest level provided space for
shops and the one above it remained a walkway for pedestrians to pass
under the tracks. The upper track level was visibly unchanged.
