The Bright Building (749 King St W) | 18 + 3 fl | U/C
Yeah unlikely. They just spent a lot of money reconstructing it during the LRT construction. I think it'll be a barren, grey transit corridor for the next few decades. Maybe some new buildings along the road can help at least add some life to the street. And given how ugly the path of the LRT is along there, they could always periodically add dividing fences between the train and the road. Leave gaps where people can still view out the train windows, but then use decorative fencing to obscure the track bed and poles from view, using decorative glass or metal designs or even green walls that could grow. Or they could have just used green track. But all of this would have cost money and the region didn't want to spend 1 cent more than necessary on this thing.
