A lot of these jobs near the airport would still require a massive walk to get to from any stations on Eglinton West. Time consuming in the summer and quite unfeasible in the wintertime.
A bus station would be located at Airport Corporate Centre, replacing "Skymark Hub", to solve this problem. Feeder buses would connect the Eglinton line to some of the employment areas west of the airport; many of these bus routes exist already. Extending the Eglinton line along the Mississauga Transitway route to Square One would also help with this problem.
Another (probably crazy) idea for relieving the Eglinton LRT's capacity problems. Build a second railway spur which is underground off the Georgetown line designed to handle 12-car electric GO trains, which is needed to provide regular non-premium train service to the airport (as opposed to the current elevated spur that is under construction, which is designed for very short trains for premium airport express service only). Then extend that spur south underneath the airport and build a station at Airport Corporate Centre. This could then potentially be extended southwest along the hydro corridor to Square One.
Extending the Bloor-Danforth line up the 427 to Airport Corporate Centre and Pearson Terminal 1 is yet another alternative.
