The question I guess is are most people in this forum happy with the direction the Cambie corridor is going in or if not what needs to be done?

I agree whats being built there is superior to what was there and compared to other stuff in the past this is a significant improvement. I would personally love to see the areas like around King Edward more developed even with the same level of density as OV for a footprint equal to that of the OV neighborhood. I like whats been built so far at Marine Gateway but everywhere else I can see greater densities going into those areas would be great. The leftover fringe of single family homes is disappointing because of lack of urban look and feel. Overall I have a lot of mixed feelings. Maybe we will get more density in future councils once Vision is a distant memory....
