It is, as posters here often call it, a traffic sewer at the present moment but with more high density projects along here, it will help catalyze a renovation of the street itself, hopefully improving it for mixed use - vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians. More density on Victoria will also help build the case for an east-west LRT in the future, especially considering there is a lot of room for development along that road.
I don't see why that would be a given. Toronto is completely full of streets just as miserable as Victoria St, while being flanked with highrise condos (and IMO, the pedestrian experience made even worse by combining the traffic sewer with the negative externalities of highrises). I certainly hope you are right, but I haven't seen much from the leadership in the region suggesting we will do anything other than repeat the mistakes of all other North American cities.
