"But what's generating excitement among planners is the idea of "community nodes" anchored by smaller, often tired shopping centres such as Meadowvale, Erin Mills, South Common and Sheridan, and at major intersections such as Dundas St. and Dixie Rd., that can become real "places" – just like Port Credit and Streetsville, established communities with their own vibrant street life. In place of vast hectares of surface parking around the mall, these nodes would sprout six- to 12-storey buildings and a commercial presence at street level to encourage walking and use of transit. Surface parking would be mostly eliminated."
this is impossible for Miss. What are they supposed to do with the 6-lane super roads? They'll never be able to turn any part of Miss into Port Credit.
1. It's physically impossible. Unless you blow the city up and try to start over.
2. The people will never have it. They live there because that's what they want. They don't want to walk or take public transit or have inconvenient parking.
