The end of the platform is still 150 feet or so away from the terminal. The platform also starts where the roadway stops being parallel with the terminal, and begins to shift away. This means that even if they wanted to expand the terminal further than that 150-200 feet on either end, they’d be limited by the length of the parallel portion of the elevated roadway. So currently the proposed station is the exact same distance away from terminal as the maximum distance they can expand due to the elevated roadway moving away from the terminal. So the station location won’t be a problem for terminal expansion beyond that few hundred feet total on either end, it will be the roadway.
