One thing that surprises me is the lack of major development adjacent to CB, is anything planned? I'd assume the land values are massive.
Here is COV's study of the area. From page 66 shows redevelopment, towers planned for the safeway site. The retail along commercial will also be rebuilt as part of the next phase expansion of the station, the third platform serving outbound trains.

Once all these upgrades are done I think CB will be our best station, once all the expansion is done the station will actually be pretty huge, and I think the first station in Canada to employ the Spanish solution (in operation). I really hope that the benefits of Spanish solution become clear and we start seeing more and more of the busier stations begin to use it in the future.

Does the centre station house have escalators that go from platform all the way to ground? (or is that a staircase?)
The centre stationhouse does not have escalators - only a staircase and 2 (or 3?) elevators. There will be a total of 8 escalators between the east and west stationhouses.
I just hope that the elevators and stairs or escalators are finished and open to the public soon. Having to use temporary staircases that aren't big enough for the crowds that station sees...
From Metrotown - it was a dumbass thing to do. We're supposed to get a new one eventually but no one seems to know when.
I would be really happy if all the stakeholders can come to some agreement before 2020.
There is a possibility the new pedestrian bridge might never be built.
