I suspect, and perhaps I'll get a better idea tonight, that since the area is sort of the transition zone between innercity and suburbia, that people feel they have the best of both worlds (close to innercity, perks of quiet suburbia). Therefore they probably wouldn't see what density would do for them. Density on 16th or Centre bringing shops and restaurants, sure that brings obviously perks. Twice as many people living on 20th (with perhaps twice as many vehicles requiring parking)? not so obvious benefit for existing residents. |
I think those type of development would be perfect for 20th, even 10th could be redeveloped with buildings like that.
I think one would need to motivate the general community to support this, it seems like a lot of the folks that get involved with CA's and issues like this, live at the negative end of the spectrum. Getting people that support this to speak up would be critical to the success.
