Burnaby Updates

[Metro-One]

hmm, pretty predictable and boring if you ask me.

Nothing original, and straight out of the "flavor of the month" urban planning textbook.

Not every block should have residential units on it if you want true entertainment zones.

Also, are they hoping to completely remove the mall?

If so, they will lose a lot of business to Brentwood which seems to be incorporating their mall into the expanding urban fabric organically and in a superior form IMO.

If they do cut up Metropolis into those tiny blocks I hope that some of those roads are arcades with full weather protection, creating a true year round shopping and entertainment zone.

Also, call me crazy, but while I love having trees on most roads, I also enjoy having a couple streets, such as arcades, that dont have any trees but focus on lights, signs, and architecture.

Sadly, this plan comes off as the modern equivalent of the tower in the park.
