There are, however, two sets of exit-only stairs at the east and west ends of both platforms. Seems like a pretty big disservice to riders coming from the west. Hopefully one or both of the exit-only stairs can have rotogates added so (able-bodied) passengers heading west can directly access their platform.
That's a bummer. But it's actually people boarding the train to head west that would be inconvenienced the most, I think, as they would want to be on the north platform.

Not that their needs aren't important, of course, but I'm guessing that 90% of people boarding at this station are headed downtown, thus would board directly onto the south platform. If I'm wrong then the CTA is full of idiots
