You're talking a timeline of easily 20-30 or 40 years,....at least,...before those projects get built out and Broadway gets that fully dense.
As an example, remember that the Amazing Brentwood next door when it was frst proposed almost 15 years ago they had a build-out timeline of 30 years.
And that was before they recently applied for an amendment to their original masterplan to allow them to get more density and taller towers in the latter phases, which will likely push that timeline easily another 10-15 years on top of the original schedule. They've barely gotten above ground on the next phase of the development with towers 5 and 6, with only 3 towers out of the originally proposed 15 actually built.
So now you're talking a bunch of other developments that don't have any shovels on the ground yet, much less have even started applications for Development permits, and only one of which has had approval at the first stage.
Lots of changes are going to happen to the local areas and the Transit options and capacity in that time period before these developments get built out (.....and that's even assuming they get built out as proposed without reductions in density). Including more Skytrain line extensions, more Rapidtransit lines, and even more capacity for vehicular traffic.
