There are plans to reduce the width of the street to 4 lanes with LRT in this section. There will be on street parking also with bike lanes on the passenger side and will come back to the driver side at intersections.
You do not need retail in the base of all building as it delute the amount of business a street or area can support in the first place. Well space and going from side to side will help to support these business. At the same time, it can be commerical.
All these building are to far back from the street edge and leaves a lot of wasted space. You could put another building in front of these on one side of the street that are only 3-6 story tall to deal with this waste of space.
All the bases need to be 100% the length of the block with the odd green space.
