The only way this could work is if the surrounding streets and intersections were narrowed and pedestrianized.
This takes the worst of town and suburb, its fascinating.

The area is undergoing a major development push. City Park has seen 2 of 5 towers built. There are talks that the movie theatre may be replaced by more condos. Then you have the 4 towers going up at the corner of Ogilvie and Cummings and a couple of other developments next to it on Cyrville. If that wasn't enough, construction is about to start on Tremblay, next to the VIA station. Finally, we also have a proposal for the huge lot bordering St. Laurent and Tremblay. The area will look nothing like it does now in 10 years from now.
