(a few in the old settlement of Concord to the south)

Why do so many ppl use such odd vernacular to describe areas in the 905? Nobody describes any former 416 suburban historic community like that.

The reason I think York University Station should GO (buh-dum-dum) is that once Downsview Park is opened, the station will have very little utility as York U wants everyone to come in by subway and eliminate as many buses from campus as possible.

I agree that York U station should close as soon as Downsview Park station opens. I was just saying that there is precedent on the GO system (on this line in fact) for stations that are even closer than Concord and York U would be if they were open at the same time.

That's just phase 1 - there are much more than 3 buildings planned here.

You're correct. I'd be shocked if Liberty doesn't come to an agreement with our provincial government to build a GO station here.

Area might benefit from a closer BRT station as well.

Just looked and there doesn't appear to be a single station between Keele + Dufferin.

I believe they plan to add one here as a part of this project.

According to the Vaughan committee of adjustments agenda for next week, a temporary sales office for this project will be built in one of the units at 7700 Keele St.
This project was previously known as "Rose Garden City" (perhaps name hasn't changed yet).

Not an update, but related. Metrolinx just released the business case for a Concord Station on the Barrie Line:
