Definitely agree. Especially about retail; Agricola needs to fill out first and foremost. There's only so much commercial demand in the area, so we might as well keep turning Agricola into the Main Street it's becoming.
I also didn't realize that the project exceeded the allowable zoning. I still support it because I think it's a great project, but I do understand the concern, especially after this week's foolish decision on Wellington Street, that the city is just ignoring its own zoning and approving whatever gets put in front of them. That can't continue.
Still, I like this one, so I still hope it happens. Having it both ways, I guess.
