Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

DP submitted for corner of MacLeod & Heritage (SE corner this time). First phase will be replacing a portion of existing strip mall with a 26 storey tower. No details as of yet on future phases but I believe it will be more towers of similar size & height. Should be showing up in DMAP in the next few days...

As good, bad, plain or innovative this development could be, the most important factor is how responsive the MacLeod Trail and Heritage intersection is to 100x the pedestrian traffic to the LRT.

Spoiler: it still sucks. The city desperately needs to push forward a plan to completely redo Macleod. We're just kicking the can down the road, as we always do. We never build infrastructure concurrently with development. We just let the development happen willy nilly and then 10 years later we're like "oh crap, there's no transit serving any of this" or "oh crap, all this new TOD and pedestrian uses are right next to a stroad"
