The site plan is kind of awkward, but it's crammed in between a highway and cemetary, so it is totally isolated.
"With all this intensification proposed on Yonge St north of Steeles, why not extend the subway to Steeles?"
You mean to north of Steeles.
For some nagging reason, I'm not quite convinced of the "will make it over-capacity" issue. It's not like taking it north a few km will suddenly make everyone in Woodbridge or Markham or Richmond Hill switch to it since YRT would have to improve commensurately..they might but there's no guarantee. People are free to make their way down to Finch no matter what, and if they keep adding residential units north of Finch - or anywhere north of Bloor, really - it will reach capacity anyway, in which case we might as well replace those 12 million daily buses on Yonge with a subway and shave a chunk of travel time off commutes...which would then spur more transit ridership...which would...oops.
