Toronto Spadina Subway Extension Emergency Exits | ?m | 1s | TTC | IBI Group

For anyone that uses foursquare/Swam to check into locations Downsview Station has now been renamed to Sheppard West station a few weeks ahead of the TTC.
 
Doors Open Update per http://www.ttc.ca/Spadina/Project_News/News_Events/News_by_Date/2017/April/Doors_Open.jsp

1) A shuttle bus will be operated between the Sheppard West bus terminal, Downsview Park, and York U stations. Regular fares apply. Schedule unknown.

2) Free Parking is indeed in effect at York U for Doors Open for the TTC Station. It is available at the York Blvd lot, number 70 on this map http://maps.info.yorku.ca/files/2013/02/KEELE_Map_Colour.pdf presumably limited from about 10am-5pm on Saturday May 27th only.
 
What does Vaughan metropolitan centre look like in real life, as of right now? Is there any density to speak of?

It doesn't even look like a suburban city centre. There are some big box stores, a few office buildings, some industrial parks, and a lot of empty lots. Behold, the majesty of it all!

(It'll take a few decades.)

And even if there is, the OMB could use all the high rise condos as precedent for any developer who wants to build densely but gets blocked by zoning.

Since the city has already approved towers in excess of 50 stories, I can't imagine the OMB having to weigh in on density issues in the foreseeable future.

But it's certainly true, as a general rule, that once people are there, they like to preserve things. I feel like there should still be less than that in a greenfield area where people are buying high rise condos near a subway...
