If a sidewalk _functions_ as a platform, than you can indeed call that
part of the sidewalk a platform, depending on which role of the area
you are currently talking about.  This is time-dependent:

If lots of people are standing and waiting on that sidewalk for a
vehicle to arrive, it will be easier for you to see why this is (also)
a platform, than e.g. at night time without a PT service serving the
halt.

A thing as simple as a box may be used as a table or chair.  This is
the same thing here.  You have a physical structure that is so simple
that it may function as a platform or a sidewalk, depending on current
use.
