One thing to consider is Metrotown, despite being centered around Kingsway, is fairly deep. That is, a station for the Willingdon line on Central Avenue will not serve residents living in the towers on Hazel Street, or even in the new Concord development that well.
I know the Metrotown plan essentially cuts off at Grange and everything north of that is just SFH. But is it really that hard to imagine in 50 or 100 years that Willingdon from Imperial to Deer lake could be lined with at least mid-rise, if not high-rise buildings? That's why I think a provision should be made for a future infill station somewhere between Grange and Bond. That would leave about 800 metres between that station and the Central and Deer Lake stations.
