It does lack a bit for lay-by space, but the St. Laurent bus garage is not too far away and borrowing some parking space from the mall shouldn't be out of the question. I'm not arguing in favour of using it, but realistically it's probably the most suitable station we currently have for the job.

I don't think the problem is the station layout itself from a pedestrian perspective. The non-transitway approaches to the station are awkward and the upper deck is a pretty tight loop. There isn't a lot of room to improve the in and out flow of buses to the upper deck. It's a good transfer station for local routes but not for BRT<->LRT.
