Interesting. Which tool is used for getting those numbers?
It's all my own work using QGIS. The population dots are randomly located within Census blocks, with parks and hydrology excluded. The walksheds are based on OpenStreetMap data, using the QNEAT3 plugin.
The area’s busy, and once the area sees some development it’ll take off. It has future midtown written all over it.
It's a mistake that the city isn't stepping in with some master planning beyond the wide sidewalk between the C-Train Station and mall. The area will end up with a mishmash of standards, which is fine but will lead to an inconsistent experience property to property and block to block.
I remember there is a master plan for the area somewhere, but nothing too definitive. I suspect you're right, it'll probably end up a mish-mash of developments, which sometimes isn't too bad, but can also be bad.
Looks like an interesting tool. I like the walksheds.
It's one of those things that will build slowly, and then at a certain point will take off. It's just a matter of when.
