Re - Kingsway. There are some stretches with good potential to become decent retail stretches, maybe more similar to Victoria Drive though (as opposed to Main St), given the demographic. Cedar Cottage/Kingsway is one of these areas, with the City labeling it "Little Saigon". Obviously a Vietnamese leaning area, but still is diverse. Collingwood is very much a Chinese neighbourhood, as it very much resembles Victoria Drive. It is also the furthest evolved neighbourhood along Kingsway. The Victoria Drive area shows some potential as well.
I don't think these neighbourhoods will be allowed to evolve organically though, given how quickly condos are replacing all the 1 and 2 story retail buildings along Kingsway, which is too bad because his is how our best neighbourhoods like Mt. Pleasant, Commercial Dr. etc, evolved.
