Basically, if you want walkable streets in the suburbs, you have to go with the artificial downtown lifestyle centre (i.e. Easton Town Centre) model. The huge wide arterials that criss-cross the 905 aren't likely ever going to be transformed into strolling boulevards. I mean, it's possible, but it would probably take far more effort than municipal politicians and especially developers are willing to put in. I personally don't see anything wrong with creating a lifestyle centre up at VCC and connecting it to the subway. It's artificial, but it's still a lot more pedestrian-friendly than skywalk-connected towers around a mall.
