What is happening with the plaza beside Northern Thai (91 Queen)? It appears to be dying a slow death. It seems like a great opportunity beside the LRT stop to create new storefront density, up to the sidewalk - made of brick, like nearby buildings, at 3-5 stories.
On a related note, I would like to point out that almost all the buildings built in the old style in Neumarkt Square (Dresden, Germany) have been built since ~2005.
Whilst the style wouldn't fit the local architecture in K-W, I never understood why we don't consider to build in older classical styles - to create an 'old town' feel?
Yes, the construction takes longer, but it really helps to define the street-scape with style. Can this only work in Europe? Would it look too fake in North America?
