As a resident of the area I sent in my comments that there ought to be more at grade retail along broadway and 10th, so the existing blank safeway wall on broadway isn't replaced with another blank safeway wall. Other recent TOD grocery stores in Vancouver have done this. 2 that come to mind are whole foods in the crossroads building and T&T at Marine Gateway.

In my 20s I used to live a block away from the Supervalu at 1st and Commercial and 24/7 hours were the absolute best. I used to work evenings/nights and did a shocking amount of my regularly grocery shopping around midnight. It was always empty at that time of night, so no lines, and whatever their the nightly restocking schedule was meant that the shelves were always stocked when I sauntered in during the wee hours of the night.
This just looks incredible. I love the redesign and hope that this sails through approval and permitting and gets build ASAP. What a fantastic (and loooooong awaited) change for the area.
