Since not everyone will be taking LRT and there will need to be trucks and buses using the road, so consideration of how the road can be widened to 4 lanes while keeping reasonable sidewalks should be considered (and not just steal it all from the green space between Byron and Richmond). This plan assumes Richmond remains 2 lanes.

Ok.... so the "build big and tall" folks need to be reasonable about overall aesthetics and traffic patterns... and the "high buildings kill children with shadows" people need to be reasonable about the negative impacts of height.
... there.. now we can all live in harmony
