Charles St GRT terminal redevelopment

What similar-sized Canadian cities would be considered "first-class"?

DTK needs a lot of help. Sadly, I think our mayor has zero visions for DTK. Years ago it was heading in the right direction, but that doesn't seem to be the case right now, and sadly, Kitchener citizens rarely fire their mayor (Waterloo, OTOH...)

Anyway, I would say any city close to our size has a better DT. Nothing special in Kitchener anymore. Even city hall is locked down now (that was due to the safe injection site, btw). Sunlife and Manulife have left DTK, Google is basically in mid-town so that doesn't count.

Really, the city should be ashamed of the state of DTK. No excuse for its decline.

Stantec also left the DTK core. Unfortunately you can blame City of Waterloo city policy which allowed suburban office parks with sea of free parking. I think as more people live DTK the more likely we are for a major tenant to want to set up shop in the core.
