I think the PARTs project really missed the mark in this area.
If we can't have dense developments steps from the multi modal transit hub then why did we even bother with the LRT?
There have been a lot of job losses recently in the community (Kraus Carpets, North, Erwin Hymer) and we have a situation where people are actively making it hard for a company to bring great jobs here. Sure it's not ideal to have car centric developments near the LRT but for many people the preferred method to get to work is by car.
I don't like being pessimistic but attitudes and transportation methods take time to evolve.
I prefer to bike or take transit, but living where I do now (Stanley Park), and with children, schools, appointments etc most days these options aren't realistic and I have flex hours which many people do not have.
