All teh good retailers were sucked from being in the core to the mall.......why are they looking at so much infill and redevelopment like heritage mall, stony plain rd and 142 st, and strathern before we get rid of some of the hundreds of parking lots we have downtown.

I disagree. There is no denying that it will take away some possible downtown buyers (maybe if they could buy something nice DT.....) but for the most part your targeted buyers for CP are older people who want to downsize but not live in a urban/vibrant area with all tho noise and traffic of dt.
Regardless, it has set a precedent for high density development (booth quality and magnitude).
