The one parallel to Beverly Street is behind homes and has topography working against it, so its development potential is limited. Same with the land opposite along Shade Street; with the creek there, they may not even allow development because of flood issues. One is next to the armoury; I can see them using the part at Wellington and Main, but not the rest. I can't see the one behind city hall being redeveloped any time soon.

That leaves maybe three - the Wellington/Main corner, the one on Water just south of Main where the Capitol Theatre used to be, and one on Dickson across from the post office. And not everybody who will work there is going to be living locally or taking transit in; they're going to be driving from the south end or from the Franklin Boulevard area. Some parking will have to remain to serve them, and with the creek underground there it's going to be hard to dig.

The empty land on shade st I think is brownfield and that is what is keeping it from being developed, it hasn't been touched in a long time.
