Infill condo developments spurred on by a completed West Harbour GO station will inevitably creep eastward along Barton in addition to the obviously inevitable development of the Barton Tiffany area. These are the kind of developments that should be encouraged to line Barton between Catherine and Wellington. Residential intensification will dovetail with the commercial redevelopment that I anticipate creeping eastward along Barton from James to Catherine, as well as westward from Gage to Victoria, where a relatively intact streetwall remains in place.
If given the right attention from council, Barton could look very different in ten years time.
