I always thought that the backwall of the Waterfront Station building should be knocked down so that a concourse, with a huge glass roof, could be built. From the concourse, you will be able to go down to the West Coast Express commuter rail platforms via escalators to the platform level. Fare gates would be installed at each WCE escalator entrance. Same goes with the SeaBus, with another escalator/stairs going down to a corridor to the SeaBus terminal. At the glass roofed concourse, there would be shops, bistros, and restaurants. There would also be transit customer service booths located throughout the station. Overhead, there would be a huge LCD screen and there would also be constant automatic announcements of train and SeaBus arrivals.

Access to the SkyTrain platform would also be improved with the addition of escalators/stairs on the platform to the Waterfront Station building.

This would've been similar to Pennsylvania Station in New York:
