What we need is more commercial development, hopefully of a non-strip mall variety

More is coming. The "Shops and Lofts at 47" is still in the hopper. The developers have signed a major tenant for the development and there was a redesign of the project. It still has an urban look although surface parking is now at the southern half of the site (40-50 spaces). Also the 53rd Street/Harper Court redevelopment is not that far from this neighborhood. You will see a lot more commercial development on 53rd Street because the University is investing heavily there. Several new restaurants, a 4 screen movie theater, Whole Foods, Akira and, other retail have announced projects there.
