And there are still the typical restaurant pads surrounding the entire place with tons of parking. I hope I'm wrong but usually the real life thing isn't nearly as good as renderings.

I think uptown does an okay job as a suburban mixed use development. It's not going to be a true uptown neighborhood that other cities have that are comparable to downtowns, but for the residents and guests living there it'll be reasonably convenient to walk to Walmart, restaurants, movies, and the Albertsons across the street. People living there will have a good amount of amenities they can access in under a miles walk.
Not perfect, but far more walkable than other developments around the metro like Rocking K or Star Valley.
