If I was 80 and female you bet I would be concerned with the LRT station plunked right at the entrance.

No, it's completely unfair. Like I said earlier, accessibility is a major barrier for the elderly and it is unfair to them that because of a misunderstanding they are going to lose what could be a very big positive. The job of those looking after the elderly is not to cave into their misguided fears but do what is best for them. I'll admit there are some safety concerns but nothing that cannot be mitigated with thought and care.
