It looks like Rocky Ridge Road may finally lead somewhere again when this station is built.
Escalators have a very high cost of operation compared to elevators. Higher power usage, more maintenance, more people accidentally or intentionally hitting the emergency stop. I wouldn't expect to see down escalators at new or renovated train stations in the future. I imagine that Tuscany station is somewhat of a test of having no escalators.
