This, to me, makes the most sense and reduces the inconvenience for Transit customers. It was what I believed the original plan to be, I just figured they ran into difficulties due to the pedestrian bridge.

I agree with this. Of course, that's without knowing why this idea was rejected to begin with. Because I think it's reasonable to assume that someone at CT thought of this, but it was rejected.
This leads me to another thought: whose idea was it to make those ugly, over the tracks stations to begin with? I can think of a dozen reasons why they're ridiculous, starting with cost, moving on to lack of handicap access, and ending with sheer ugliness. Seriously, why weren't the platforms built as nice, simple open ended platforms to begin with? If they were, extending them would be as simple as closing one end of the platform, and extending it.
