It’s not a barrier, it’s a retaining wall because the sidewalk and bike lane are going to be at a higher elevation than the road. The road needs a higher overhead clearance, so it dips down to clear the rail overpass. Bikes don’t need this clearance, and the dip in the road makes it more challenging for cyclists. The elevation of the bike path means there’s less of a hill for pedestrians and cyclists.
There are a lot of places in Toronto where they have done that as well.
 
Here's Part 2 of 3 taken from Caledonia station on October 24, 2021:

From the bridge over the Barrie line:

I’m guessing this is showing where the bus terminal is gonna be??
More like a bus loop. Both Keelesdale and Caledonia loop won't have any enclosed waiting area by the bus bay and won't feature any fare paid areas by the looks of it. It'll be similar to Victoria Park with a covering but much smaller.

Only Mt Dennis and Science Centre features proper bus terminals.

Still lots of deep pits throughout the intersection, no structure yet.

In fact, I don't believe that they have even started to form the rebar for the underground structural walls at the entrance.

Actually they are making massive progress at eglinton. Almost done the station box, and are finishing with track installation. They actually might get it done next year.

As predicted since they can divert more resources from the completed stations to those that are still UC. Hopefully they can maintain the sched.

They indicated they will get 100% of track railing and the overhead power installed by end of year. And then they would have another year for testing while concurrently finishing up construction where required and not interferring with the whole line testing. If they can get this up and running by mid September I think thats a major win. Even by Christmas 2022 is a respectable win. Anything into 2023 will be challenging from a PR perspective especially getting deeper into 2023. Fingers crossed

I know that they are making massive progress there. I live close by and go past it quite regularly.

But they still haven't started building anything above ground there, and that was what the question was about.
