Ultimately, when the south side of Beresford is built out, the station will be better integrated into the neighbourhood with people coming down to grade and distribution from there, rather than funnelling everyone to the mall.

People were being funnelled to the mall *and bus loop* and neither of those things are going to disappear anytime soon. There were also stairs from the ticket level to the ground for anyone who wanted to travel elsewhere. Guess what - they weren't used anywhere near as much as the overhead walkway. The new overhead walkway is supposed to connect the elevator entrance to the mall.

Metrotown is the regions largest and busiest mall, having a direct skybridge to the train station beside it is not a revolutionary idea. Essentially anywhere else in the world would have one.
