Yes,

As a special concession to those of us who think its important to facilitate 
transfers, they are going to "visually integrate" the tram terminus with 
market st and the train station 200m up the hill by painting the asphelt a 
different colour.

Better than nothing, I suppose, though I'd still rather people didn't have 
to 
cross three lanes of traffic and walk 200m up the hill to get to the trains.
