The left image is a photo of a train next to a broken, narrow asphalt platform in the median of a multi-lane roadway as a pedestrian crosses in a crosswalk towards it. The right image is a rendering of a wider platform with benches, lights, and wayfinding signage and a fence that protects the platform from the adjacent roadway.
