I hope there'll be retail/restaurant space in the base here!

Well if this is anything like what we've been seeing take place a Mimico GO over the past 15+ years, i'm sure this will quite literally go swimmingly well.

Northern, what do you think would be appropriate scale for this site? Would 2x40 storey towers be pushing it?

Height is a discussion that may be influenced by how many buildings you propose.

But there's room for a lot more than 2 there.

That parking lot is 2ha or 5 acres, not including the station building or the driveway.

Presumably a park will be an ask here, and you need some space for roads, but there's ample space for 5 buildings (or more) in that area.

Further on height, the adjacent proposal is zoned at 38s so I don't see anyone asking for less.

Finally, hope this means they are looking at the other LE parking lots as well

I think they should look into consolidating the parking lot with 4121 Kingston, and a land swap with the adjacent U-Haul property to the northwest, for a more regular and flexible land footprint.

I guess at least here they already upgraded the station so at least if the redevelopment is a mess the actual station infrastructure won't get caught up in the disaster like it has at Mimico.
