I think it should probably get its own thread, just to keep the discussion in one place.
(i.e. we've had an NEFC thread with plans, but not development, for ages)
and speaking of NEFC, dleung's diagram above looks just as crowded as Concord's NEFC plan.
and I think narrow retail / restaurant alleys (like planned for NEFC) would do well on the St. Paul's site close of the West End's population base ("off-Davie").
