Don't remember including the bit about Jane, but who knew what I was thinking back then!
Why ? Building condos in no way equates to increased demand on ridership (or very loosely does, even if all these condos are built) ... I think that's a huge misconception; Are the majority working downtown ? Ok in that case sure, if not, I doubt it; The sheppard like is a very good example of this.
Ridership on sheppard has doubled since opening.. its still very low, but it has doubled from all the condos.
All the condo construction in NYCC has resulted in significantly increased Yonge ridership in the last 15 years as well. A single condo won't overload a subway line, but when you build 20 of them, it certainly has an effect.
This recently-announced pile of Kirkor garbage fits right into the above-linked plan.

I live in the Yonge Steeles area and I if need to go to Canada Revenue offices I go to North York Centre. If need to renew my passport, I go to Yonge and Sheppard. If I need to renew my Health Card I go to Yonge and Sheppard. Mt dentist is located at Yonge and Eglinton. My lawyer at Yonge and Finch. There is plenty of opportunity for me to use a Subway in the Yonge corridor without ever going anywhere near downtown.
