Thanks, the Bentall 3 and 4 towers are among my favorite downtown. They have such a strong business appeal to them. The area around the Burrard skytrain station in general is fantastic.
And as an aside, consider this photo of one of Montreal's downtown bike lanes with a car parked in it on the next block. That used to happen all the time on Dunsmuir street in Vancouver before the it was upgraded to a two-way separated bike route as seen in Metro-One's photos. That is a big part of why those lanes are so appreciated by cyclists like myself. Plus the same amount of road space is required with Montreal's painted lanes as with planters.

Actually, the cars aren't parked in the bike lane - the street widens slightly at this point and the bike lane moves just to the left of the parked cars. Prior to this intersection the bike lane is next to the sidewalk, for a couple of blocks, and parking isn't allowed.
Personally I find Clifton Hill a very vibrant and exciting street with lots of visual interest.
I find it fun to just walk around, quite like the Las Vegas strip.. I just won't spend money to see a wax museum of "the stars" that includes Twilight..

I come from a big city that has Yonge Street as the main thoroughfare and yet I find the pedestrian traffic on Clifton Hill amazing, the fact that at times you have to resort to walking on the street when pushed off the sidewalk is a crazy for such a small town.
In this fact I know that no other small town in Canada can match Niagara fall for pure excitement, street action or skyscrapers.
