too nice for this area
I agree with most here. This station is way too 'suburban'. SUre it is in the suburbs but these are supposed to be urbanized. This is adjacent to an urban growth centre as shown in places to grow...it deserves way more. THe land is owned by ORC - therefore the Province, the authors of Places to Grow...basically they should know better...
There actually is a design concept for transit oriented development on this site designed by urban strategies, I think. You can probably find it by googling...worth a peek. It would propose high density development instead of the huge commuter lot. Of course the site is very much isolated with 407 and 400 and the cemetery and hydro corridor surrounding it...not likely the most desirable location.
