Cycling down Barton or Ottawa are not friendly, and they're nearly 6 I'm apart, which is makes it nearly 3 I'm to bike to if you live in the middle, which isn't at the max cycling distance, but shorter the better. Cycling to Jackson Square LCBO isn't great either, because while there's a bicycle lane down Bay, getting off your bike and finding parking and walking into what is essentially a mall isn't as convenient or nice as it would be to have an outward facing store. I honestly don't understand the thought process behind Jackson Square, who was it designed for? Pedestrians? Cyclists? Drivers? It doesn't feel like it was meant for anyone, which is probably why it continues to struggle to this day.
Now to get back on topic I hope that McMaster or another condo building nearby has a shiny new LCBO soon, and also that there is one maybe in the south end of the lower city between JS and Centre on Barton. Because McMaster condos would be a great spot because of all the grad students.

Haha! I know what you mean. That said Cannon and a few side streets will do it but the LCBO does deserve a downtown flagship location.
