Ignore the headline and initial paragraphs - the decade timeline is for the full project. The main transit components should be finished within four years.

Quote:The next four years, or until 2021, will focus on developing transit components that will eventually link passengers with Ion LRT, Go Transit, VIA rail service and Grand River Transit. These components include a transit hall, plazas, parking and a temporary Victoria Street bus loop, bus bays and passenger pickup and drop off lanes.
“We want the transit facilities built by 2021,” said Galloway. “It’s what we’re most interested in.”
The region expects the towers above the station to be developed for mixed land use and will be market driven, making the timeline longer or until 2027. The Go Train platform, multi-use trail across King Street and pedestrian under or overpass will also be developed after the first phase is complete.
