Progress, sort of.........
I had a look at the area via google......
For a priority transit route w/intensification, there is a need for more grocery options. The nearest supermarket that comes up is Fortinos 2.27km away.
I love to see little independent food stores, butchers, bakers, green grocers, but you really do need a supermarket every 2km or so minimum so that people living on/adjacent to a main street are rarely more than 1km away, ideally
they'd be even a bit closer given the distance between major roads.
Speaking of shopping Rymal needs to be more a 'High street' way too much residential at grade, the past is the past (though it will evolve through redevelopment); but there is a need to ensure that redevelopment brings about the right
kind of built-form and options for shopping, community services, healthcare etc .
