I do worry about the Hamilton streetscape in the north-east quadrant of downtown, and along Main W between Queen and Bay. All the new high-rise residential like this complex may beef up the skyline, but long stretches of the sidewalks will probably be quite sterile.
The blocks will be broken up by interesting existing streets like George and Hess and King William, which will benefit from the new demand for food and entertainment and services. But will Rebecca be any better than it is today? Wilson? Caroline? John? Catharine? Mary? They'll benefit by not bordering parking lots, but I'm feeling rather pessimistic about what will be adjacent to them to generate foot traffic.
