I want to like this, but it might be just about the worst station for a kiosk like this. Doesn't bridgeland have some of the lowest rider numbers? Also, selling commuter snacks at a station one stop from the core doesn't really sound like a business win.
Seems more like CT wants to seal the lid on kiosks forever and will use the poor sales here as justification.
IMO this space, expanded would work better as a small cafe, take over the south side of the upper level, and leverage the river / skyline view.
Bigger picture, it'd be great to see the walkways over memorial redone, and new bridges over the bow added so there was a fairly direct pedestrian path from bridgeland to the pathways west of the elbow.
Plenty of opportunities along that route to further activate the pedestrian realm with more cafes and micro retail. Could evolve into a whole mini market route when the density levels up on both sides of the river.
