There are very few development sites for residential north of Sackville Street and below Brunswick. It would be great if the triangle lands at the end of Granville Mall were developed as an apartment or mixed-use building but that seems unlikely.

Longer-term of course this could be fixed by getting rid of the interchange. I think the difference would be like night and day if the old downtown added 5,000 new residents or so (and it would be great for the city's tax base and servicing costs).
