I do like the park design, and I'm not sure that its really so much about density..... but.......
it really is
stupid for what needs to be high speed transit.
As mentioned, the walk will add about 5-10 minutes walking, and this just adds a whole new dimension to parking at a commuter stop...... as most commuters both to and from will just want their cars to be near the train.....
Hopefully there will be enough folks who would like to use this stop who will complain to the city administrative and planning folks that this is really a stupid design. Maybe greenery could be on one side of the tracks, but the other side of the tracks have to be designed for the convenience of the commuters who plan to use this.
I have to say that this really is the stupidest planning I've seen in quite a while......
