Urban planners, both land use planners and transportation planners, generally work of 20 or 30 year horizons. The city they are planning today won't come to fruition until 2044. Think what North York Centre was like in 1984 compared to today. The Yonge and Eglinton area is still growing as a result of the subway station that was built is 1953. Without that station it would be just like Dufferin and Eglinton. Don't expect the Scarborough Subway/LRT to result in massive instantaneous redevelopment along whichever route it is built. The transit line simply lays the foundation and make redevelopment possible at some point in the future.
