Would be nice to see this get built, and have another development within walking distance of the LRT station. With all the development near Heritage Station and Chinook Station, maybe the city will do some TLC on the stations.

We certainly dodged a bullet for the first design. The second design isn’t too bad I could’ve lived with it.

Bingo. The number varies, depending on the demographics and some other factors. Think Downtown/Beltline with a population of around 60,000, yet has five grocery stores. Hillhurst/Sunnyside/west Hillhurst with the population of about 20,000 has two grocery stores. Mission, cliff, bungalow...
