I think it's important to look at a mix of development opportunity and density. I know Victoria/Highland has a fair bit of density, but the majority of the development opportunity is if we rezone light industrial/commercial into higher density uses. FWIW, it might be better to take the LRT up Shirley as it's less constrained by the railway.
One dream I have for the region is to redevelop a bunch of the malls, for example the Laurentian centre at Ottawa and Alpine is a huge area of surface parking. That could be redeveloped into a fairly significant high density mixed use area (for example, the Laurentian centre is roughly the same size as the Amersfoort city centre).
All that's really needed is a very high frequency connector service to link it to a transit station on the LRT...
