With Eglinton East Kennedy wouldn't be great, but streetscape should be enough for reasonably pedestrian friendly high density residential imo. Lots of room for infill condo around there.

Metrolinx did share what future development could look like around Kennedy Station (Kennedy Mobility Hub).
This document was published in 2014, so not sure if its been updated or if land use planning around the station has changed to reflect what was proposed in the doucment.
Some renderings I pulled out:

Question. What happens to all of the relatively recent retail development on the north side of Eglinton? Once a plan / plan change is accepted, how does the process start going forward when private owners own the new street ROWs?

Assuming that all the relevant reports and plans pass council; the vast majority of these sites are pending redevelopment with massive applications for density and which envision ceding some or all of the relevant real estate to the City.
As with North York City Centre don't expect the new road system to emerge in one swift move, but in chunks over a 20 year plus period.
Where the land isn't ceded, the City may need to expropriate, but so long as the vast development envisioned kicks off, the relevant benefits agreements, permit fees, and net new assessments will cover much of the cost.
The actual timing/phasing order (or at least a preferential prioritization) will emerge from a new EA which should get under way in the next 12-24 months.
That will be determined by a mix of modelling/logic and by which developers are closest to proceeding.

'It won't happen': Plan to remake Scarborough's Golden Mile falling short
The plan is meant to make Scarborough’s Golden Mile a “City of the Future” again, and it’s a vision that could fail.

Your house property goes up in value. There are more things walkable to you. And you get transit. This is what a city is. If you don't like it move to Winnipeg

Really, both 'sides' here have a point.
The developers basically like the City plan but don't want interim density caps that are tied to projects that have no legally binding timelines. They don't want to sit on their sites.
Seems entirely reasonable, to set a timeable for the infrastructure to roll-out, and enter legally binding agreements that allow the full densities as long as key segments of various roads are built.
Likewise, the residents here aren't actually opposing the density outside of suggesting a 2-lane O'Connor extension vs 4.
Regardless, the focus of the residents concerns are to do with having enough affordable rental included in the developments.
I can hardly object to that ask; and I don't think its an unreasonable one.
On the heels of the Mirvish Village deal with Federal money to secure affordable rental, it shouldn't be a big deal to get the same deal here, scaled-up, given a 10-year plus rollout of the development, the cash-flow obligations would not be onerous.
Perhaps 100M a year from Ottawa, for the next 20 years, gets you 10x the affordable rental as seen at Mirvish, win/win.

Final Report, recommending adoption of the new plan, goes to Scarborough Community Council's next meeting on July 17th.
Interesting note buried in this.............CreateTO is looking to redevelop the Don Montgomery Recreation Centre which is the large ugly blob located on the east side of Kennedy GO Stn, just south of Eglinton.

Metrolinx will probably take some spaces for the station tunnel and platforms, even new tracks for Kennedy GO.

Considering it got adopted does that mean the plan is approved and good to go?

Didn't council defer their vote until October 7? Also, there are a lot of proposed developments that don't conform to the secondary plan (since it's not yet in-force). Could they get approved?

This one is indeed back for approval again.
It appears with the same reports from last time.
