That's how it feels to me, looking at it. And I can't stand that... I need street-front density. I'd rather a low-slung Ottoman bazaar with buildings one floor high than that.

You're right, this 8-lane street is not really that great for street level activity, but it is also technically Highway BC-99, the main thoroughfare to cross the Lion's Gate Bridge and access to Highway 1.
It wasn't too long ago that whole street was peppered with gas stations and car dealerships. It still has a long way to go -- I'm hoping there are good plans for this area.
