It does concern me a bit that we haven't heard any plan for redeveloping the future vacant lots. Maybe I'm wrong? Is there any documents showing a concrete plan in place?

I can't even find a conclusive list of property requirements, yet alone plans on what to do with them afterwards.
I know the City was planning to upzone along the LRT, but that plan has been put on hold after the LRT got cancelled.
I imagine the province will implement a similar program to their transit oriented communities program in Toronto in Hamilton, albeit on a smaller scale, doing all the rezoning themselves via MZOs, then selling them off with affordable housing requirements.
A lot of their transit oriented communities for the OL are far denser than what the city would want, and rightfully so.
and yea, a ton of King St is going to get demolished for the LRT. the worst spot is around the rail-rail grade separation near Gage Park, they are taking out basically several blocks along the north side of King St for it. Basically the entire north side from Gage Avenue to Glendale Avenue.
