Viewfromthe42, thanks for your post (#198). I don't think that could be said better, and it would be a shame if there is a 'hole' in foot traffic around Frederick.
BuildingScout, you're right that there is a lot of hope for that stretch. But it's more than 300 meters between Bauer and the LCBO. There's little feeling of enclosure along that stretch; the street wall is poor. I observe little foot traffic there, but it might change once Brick is redeveloped. I would say that the block of King between Allen and John, and to a lesser extent down to Union, is going to be great. What you list will be joined by what goes in at Cortes.
I'm not so sure about the stretch south of GRH. There's a pharmacy that's not too inviting to people on foot; Abstract like you mention; what am I failing to remember?
