With Eglinton East Kennedy wouldn't be great, but streetscape should be enough for reasonably pedestrian friendly high density residential imo. Lots of room for infill condo around there.
On a serious note, I'm not sure it's possible to create one downtown for Scarborough. The way things are going, several large nodes are emerging - STC, Golden Mile and Don Mills - Eglinton. Scarborough will probably have several local centres, as opposed to one main centre. In this respect, Scarborough is following the path of North York. Where North York has North York Centre, Scarborough will have the stretch of Eglinton between Don Mills and Kennedy; Fairview Mall and STC also mirror each other.
Does the city have any plans to redevelop the area around Kennedy Station? I would have thought there would be something similar to GMSP in place for Kennedy given the excellent transit connections. A lot of aging low density stock can be redeveloped around Kennedy.
Question. What happens to all of the relatively recent retail development on the north side of Eglinton? Once a plan / plan change is accepted, how does the process start going forward when private owners own the new street ROWs?

'It won't happen': Plan to remake Scarborough's Golden Mile falling short
The plan is meant to make Scarborough’s Golden Mile a “City of the Future” again, and it’s a vision that could fail.www.toronto.com
Metrolinx will probably take some spaces for the station tunnel and platforms, even new tracks for Kennedy GO.Final Report, recommending adoption of the new plan, goes to Scarborough Community Council's next meeting on July 17th.
Interesting note buried in this.............CreateTO is looking to redevelop the Don Montgomery Recreation Centre which is the large ugly blob located on the east side of Kennedy GO Stn, just south of Eglinton.

Didn't council defer their vote until October 7? Also, there are a lot of proposed developments that don't conform to the secondary plan (since it's not yet in-force). Could they get approved?Considering it got adopted does that mean the plan is approved and good to go?
