This could have been a grand Montreal style square/park but it is done Halifax style and looks like Highfield Park. When these brick buildings go and are replaced with more of the same crap our great planners will have wiped out an entire historic city block. HRMxDesign had the gall to show grand buildings where the Superstore is in their vision of this block. What kind of snow job is that....the Superstore is never leaving and what's even worse they were installing their gas bar when HRmxDesign was suggesting great buildings for the site.....how pathetic...but people sucked it up. |
Yes, but the HT could never allow us to have any well designed buildings surrounding a park. They can only be shitty, squat, replicas of shit.
