Mississauga Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

Just look at Toronto and how the subway hasn't spurred development in some places for 50 years. It all depends on zoning. And Mineola, particularly Mineola West, but increasingly Mineola East as well, is full of wealthy people who will have no desire for intensification in their neighbourhood. You may see some small development facing Hurontario (maybe the plaza with Cousin's, for example) but I think the area will largely remain intact, with development to the south (Port Credit) and north (the Hospital district, Cooksville, Fairview and Square One of course).
The only thing in Fairview happening is those old houses in palgrave are being torn down for McMansions. Perhaps the Tim Hortons and Popeyes plaza at confederation will be developed. And that one large house on actual Fairview which is being torn down for 9 detached houses.
 
Almost all of the properties on Hurontario from the QEW to Lakeshore are actually non residential.

Mineola is among the only neighbourhoods that have been deemed unsuitable for intensification, despite being located adjacent to a future major interchange GO station. The stink of entitlement is palpable.

Yes I can definitely imagine some homeowners fronting Hurontario will be driven out eventually, and the lot sizes are generous. A land assembly of even just two lots here could probably yield 10-12 units without upzoning.

Good thing the city has made all the stops along HuLRT an MTSA! Density will come whether people like it or not. That said, Mineola’s boundary happens to be the narrowest of all the MTSA’s, showing how right some of the comments above are.

There are SFH in Mineola directly adjacent to PC GO that are excluded from the MTSA. Ridiculous.
 
About 80-90% of the homes on Hurontario south of the QEW are business with a few empty lots. In time and the with right dollar's, those houses will come down with low (6s) to mid rise building (15s) replacing them. Getting anything taller will be a thought fight with the city leading the way. A good portents of those existing home site especially the east side are about 200' deep lots and will be the first to go. The west side will see a few mid rise unless the developers can buy up the houses behind them.

Have never got a straight story when those poles will be remove that preventing the use of the southbound lanes nor for the northbound when it come time to build it. Until those poles are remove and traffic is shifted, the guideway cannot be built. They are holding communication cables for Bell and Rogers on the east side with some on the west side.

From @Tim MacDonald photos, bulk of the west sidewalk has been pour from Mary Fix Creek to Pinewood. Where it is not poured, there is only room for a single driveways that is preventing the pouring there that will require a ramp over it after been pour since some of them are for home. The others will have to be done on the weekend. There are a few businesses with 2 driveways and a few had concrete pour for one of them.

The photo for the QEW shows the northbound curb is now poured from the off ramp to the North Service Rd allowing the new pane to be pave. Until they pour the curb work in the new road to make a left turn to the QEW, cannot open that new underpass unless you make it for only northbound until the left turn lane is in place.

The plaza at Fairview will go in time as well the whole corner as the land is own by Kaneff Group .who are slow builders these days. The same thing will happen to the Cousin Plaza

If I looking correctly for the station, there is a walkway been built over the slopping walkway and hope there is enough head room for cycles and tall people. The steel work completed for the entrance and looks like brickwork for the north end

Great shot @Tim MacDonald as usual
