I too am trying to find something positive but I truly feel that how this building meets the street will further damage the surrounding streetscape and I would rather the site be left alone until better comes along. It drives me nuts how this city loves mediocrity instead of buildings that better their neighbourhoods. I would personally feel ashamed to put my rubber stamp on this. Design is not always about more $ and in this case, the ball has definitely been dropped.

I really hope so. I'm curious if the design is somewhere in the council documents. I will see if I can find them.

Ground level commercial is already an improvement.
