The only caveat I have about this development is this really oddly placed kiosk-like establishment that will be built right in front of the King George SkyTrain Station south entrance... Now... I wouldn't mind if they rebuilt the station with more stores inside, but having that thing in front of the entrance is just asking for trouble by blocking efficient pedestrian movements and commutes; creating a blind, unsupervised corner that may be prone to more seedy and criminal elements; and obscuring the visibility and identity of the station in general to tourists and other residents.

(One might think btw that my concerns sound a little weird, but they're more like a summary of what I think are the actual crime prevention through station design principles + station accessibility and identification principles that TransLink has.)

That kiosk aside, the rest of the development looks fine and I'd wish to see most of it go ahead as planned.
