In a 2012 concept design report, the subway station was located in a north-south orientation underneath the cinema and Hightech Road, with three options for integration with a bus terminal and the Langstaff GO station. In March 2021, after budget considerations, Metrolinx announced that the two northern-most stations, one at Highway 7 and another further north at High Tech Road, would be built on the surface. From south of Highway 7, the extension would veer east away from Yonge Street to surface and then turn north along a railway corridor.
