Not bad. Hopefully redevelopment spreads to the old and too small to be useful Southland Library to the west, and old medical clinic to the north. The real opportunity to build out the "missing middle" is on sites like this: underutilized strip mall sites, as well as disused schools, and undeveloped urban reserves set aside for schools that were never built,.
Most of the Elbow Dr burbs developed in the 50's. Haysboro and Southwood date to the 60's. Only Canyon Meadows is from the 70's. I grew up in 5 different houses in Canyon Meadows. When my family first moved there in the mid 70's, Elbow was gravel south of Anderson. All of Anderson Road was gravel as well.
I wonder how long before the awful Canyon Meadows Shopping Centre site is redeveloped. It is a strange site in terms of its interface with the high school to its west. Another site begging for redevelopment is the former Viscount Bennett School / Chinook College. It has a substantial asbestos remediation requirement.
