Does anyone think we could see a full two-entrance station? With one at the Scotiabank site and the other at Laurel here?

That would really be the best of both worlds.. But the entrances would be approximately 180m away from each other, with the platform under an entire city block. With 80m platforms, each walkway/stairway up to the stationhouse would have to be 40-50m long.. which is long, but could be worth it.

Having the entrance in the new office building would bring the distance down to 150m. Given that they're saying it will just be an emergency exit though, it wouldn't make sense for them to be planning a main entrance across the street, farther from the platform, in that scenario..

Maybe the Scotiabank site is just for the property development and we won't be seeing a stationhouse there, with the office building entrance being downsized (but hopefully still more than an 'emergency' exit) after Translink realized they would prefer the main entrance to be at Laurel. I think this is a pretty reasonable scenario.
