I drove by this tonight, what a great approach they are taking that you see is followed in Quebec and not in Ontario. Build residential areas as part of the commercial big box areas.
In Gatineau, you see it at:
- Destination V
- Agora
- Du Plateau (with the retirement residences across Canadian Tire)
- Galeries Aylmer with the retirement residences attached and across the street
and there are may example througout Quebec (Dix30, Solar Quartier and Quartier Laval are examples)
This creates a walkable community.
To use an as example, Trainyards in Ottawa has so many commercial options for people with a central location, but no thought to include walkable residential opportunities.
Great to see this in Aylmer and hope to see more.
