My hope is that this entire area becomes a density node akin to Yonge/Eg or North York City Centre.

You have the Aga Khan Museum and Japanese Cultural Centre + beautiful ravines on either side. Presumably you will have a midtown line at some point, and the walkability of the area could be fixed with making Don Mills and Eglinton more boulevard-like and less stroad-like + 1-2 more pedestrian bridges over the DVP.

Totally agree with your sentiments. Appreciate your comments.

I'd be happy to see a few more stores at Don Mills and Eg. A couple of take-out restaurants would be nice, too. Back to the Superstore, they used to have a few small stores at ground level (under store level) that are gone now: an Ontario Beer Store, and a Krispy Kreame Donuts. Maybe when they finish putting in the Crosstown neighbourhood (NW of the corner), some retail businesses will move in. Or they could move in now, to the HH Angus building, since it's (sort of) open.

I believe there is a sizeable amount of mixed use retail planned for the crosstown community across Don Mills rd

Sorry if this is old news, and sorry that I can't take any pictures because my camera has been loaned out. On the east side of the station at Gervais, where the station entrance for buses has had covered-over traffic signals for a long time, they are now uncovered. Since the bus lot is still fenced off and no buses are turning here, the southbound signals just show the same thing as the signals at Eglinton, a few feet away. The northbound signals are always green. Signals on the east side, which only apply to buses, are always red. One light on a short pole, rather than hanging from a line, is still covered.

I notice that when heading south through this intersection, the "no right turn except for buses" sign, which is supposed to mean you can't turn into the bus station, could be misunderstood to mean there is no right turn at Eglinton, even though the road itself has left and right turn lanes with painted arrows. I expect to see confusion and sudden lane changes when drivers turn at Eglinton.
