It's only 2km down Ottawa St. to get to the LRT station. If Ottawa st. were to have an express bus passing by all the time it really wouldn't be an onerous journey to get anywhere by transit.
Ottawa St. toward downtown from this point has a lot of potential; there's the Ford dealership that could take a hike, the huge lawn that the Board of Education maintains for no real reason, the Concordia Club's huge property also has a lot of potential for something greater.
I think it's really short-sighted for the city to allow such car-centric development is an area that is already pretty congested. I'd rather see the first proposal tweaked so it faced out to Ottawa street. Something like the first proposal would be awesome at the block across from Cameron Heights or even on some of the old Schneiders land.
