I wonder if the property may have changed hands in the regular way, in the end, with the looming prospect of expropriation just hastening the deal, like the houses in West Harbour that were situated around the Rheem plant.
I seem to recall the maintenance yard being proposed for Wentworth St. north of Barton.

A "transit hub" won't necessarily take up a lot of space - that location is between existing north-south bus routes anyway, so an LRT station there would likely just serve the neighbourhood and be a transfer point for local east-west bus service (if that gets maintained under the plan... not sure if it is, but I think it should be)
