An air photo map of the Clarkson GO Station, showing 5 & 10 minute walks as circles, and a proposed major transit station area boundary as a pink line. The MTSA boundary cuts down Clarkson Road and then along the rail corridor, excluding all lands to the northeast of the station, which currently hold low-density neighbourhoods of single-family bungalows. Similarly, low-density bungalow neighbourhoods within a 5 minute walk north of the station’s parking lots are also excluded. Lands southeast of the station, containing apartment towers and townhouses are included within the boundary, as are the station’s parking lots and industrial areas to the southwest.

Why? Because they intentionally drew the boundary to exclude low-density “established neighbourhoods” of bungalows that are literally across the street from the station.
