That whole area needs an overhaul. I'd like to see the Sobeys site redeveloped into a nicer grocery store with apartments on top. The strip malls similarly should become lowrise buildings built up to the street with underground parking. Population densities are already fairly high around there and the potential exists for lots of infill without touching anything but ugly strip malls and parking lots.

I could see Queen Street becoming more commercial in the future with development around Fenwick and the Infirmary site, plus some modifications to that stretch across from the cemetery (along the lines of what exists at the corner of Queen and Fenwick). It would be a great extension to the downtown/Spring Garden area and would give that part of the city more of a local identity.
