There's also the development site at Barrington and Kent so that neighbourhood may change pretty noticeably over the next few years.

Looks like a great development that will replace 2 unremarkable buildings. Excellent!
Questions regarding your redeveloping Superstore comment:
- Doesn't a store such as this support further residential growth in the area by making a walkable grocery run possible for the many local residents?
- Or, are you simply suggesting that replacing the existing Superstore and parking lot with a mixed retail (grocery) / residential complex would be a better use of the land?
The reason I ask is that, other than the undesirable "look" of a sprawling grocery store and parking lot, it seems to serve the local community very well.
