I don't think there's any retail in the new buildings to the west of this?

Less prominent streets in the suburbs like Dawson in Burnaby can support retail but Marine can't? In area that is a few minutes walk away from a Canada Line station, ample bus service, busy and densifying in every direction. I find that hard to believe.
The total lack of street activation is what kills me. Even just a coffee shop on the corner would be a huge improvement but I really wish there was something like the retail plaza at Fraser Commons.
