Toronto's Yonge St North Planning StudyDocument
Read the first 12 pages of the document to see how Yonge between Cummer and Steeles could come to accommodate thousands of new residents and workers. Over 20,000 people and 8000 jobs with the extension of the subway.
The Vaughan plan calls for 10,000 people and 5000 jobs between Steeles and Centre Street.
Markham has similar population projections (9700) with an additional 3600 jobs. Document
Add in Langstaff Gateway and Richmond Hill Centre and you could add another 75,000 people and jobs to this area. "Scribed"
I believe the development potential (and demand) is greatest for this extension of all possible subway extensions.
Maybe I am misunderstanding our goals for accommodating the continuous growth in our population but extending the existing Yonge line, reclaiming the land from strip malls and auto dealerships seems like a no brainer.
All four municipalities have done the planning around this extension. Show me near the potential (or demand) anywhere along the sheppard line.
