Always risky taking renderings too literally - but - the track drawing shows the likelihood of the 4-track line being used as two express tracks (not accessible from the platforms) and two stopping tracks for local trains making all local stops.
That leads to a scenario where the local tracks are used by the UP trains making all local stops, interleaving at Wice with other local trains from Bramalea or Mount Pleasant, all using those two local tracks.
Meanwhile, express trains from wherever use the other two tracks, perhaps making selected stops (as Bloor, Mount Dennis Weston, and Woodbine will have platforms) .... but definitely not stopping at St Clair.
There was lots of talk of this configuration, and it sort of works this way already with three tracks - but this is the first time that has reached the artwork, to my knowledge.

The historic Toronto Suburban Railway transformer house on the site dating back to 1894 was recently demolished. It would have been far better for the community to reuse this historic building.

Guess the 118 Metrolinx vice-presidents didn't get the memo.

This was explored, but the mandate fell between the cracks and the building was in the way and nobody had money. (Imagine that.... ML not having money).
I am told that there will be a plaque, but long term tenant ABC Lumber may get as much profile than TSR.
Plaques are the heritage preservation equivalent of offering "thoughts and prayers".
