The need is already there and the train will spur further development at an accelerated pace.

I will sound like a broken record, but we would be far better off extending the south-eastern transitway to Bowesville than the Trillium line. It would provide more than enough capacity (certainly more than the Trillium line plan) and would provide single transfer service to downtown (or anywhere on either LRT line). It would likely also be cheaper.
