To be fair, it's an honest effort to create a more positive streetscape while accomodating the typical suburban retail. I think it's a little unrealistic to expect developers to create the sort of street retail we love at a location like this. Even if they did decide to try to recreate that sort of streetscape, I can't see it facing the major roads, and then we're dealing with the problem of having the backs of buildings to the major thoroughfares again.

Until there is a fundamental shift in the policy for suburban districts as well change in the nature of development away from large blocks, I can't see something like the old style of streetscape returning.
