Plans finally unveiled for the Kodak lands

The long-awaited Crosstown LRT is set toopen in 2021(but I don't think anyone's holding their breath of that start date). Fittingly, numerous spots across the Eglinton Avenue corridor willundergo extreme makeovers. That includes theKodak landsat Black Creek and Eglinton.

Most of the structures that once dotted the 48-acre site are gone, except for Building 9, located at the south end of the complex. It's set to become part of Mount Dennis Station.

More specifically,according to Urban Toronto,Building 9 will serve as the station's secondary entrance. It'll also hold administrative offices. The station's primary entrance will be located on Eglinton. It'll include lots of bicycle parking as well as a small outdoor plaza.

The station will connect to TTC routes via a bus terminal as well as the GO Transit Kitchener Line -- how convenient. And, as Urban Toronto notes, Mount Dennis Station will also include a large maintenance and storage facility.

It's still unclear whether the massive site will includecommunity spacesand residential units. There's certainly enough land to work with, but the absence of mixed development in these plans is noteworthy.
