While I'm looking forward to this project, my ultimate utopic dream would be for Yonge Street to kind of be like how it was in the 70s and 80s — Music venues, culture, art spaces, arcade bars... etc. I find this project interesting but no one will want to congregate in the public realm with all of the big box/chain retail stores currently there.
There will be foot traffic anyway, but we need to bring in more uniqueness and excitement. I'm tired of the soulless retail spaces we see everywhere now. :/
