No, it's the opposite. There was originally supposed to be a pedestrian overpass connecting to a station head and the platform. After the changes to the routing, the community complained about the visual impact such a configuration would have and the current design is the result (with the at-grade-only access to the platform. A similar situation with the community also saw a pedestrian overpass to and from the Park N' Ride removed from the design of Sirocco Station.
