4 Ways to Fix the Market District

While I appreciate the enthusiasm, charts show that density in the Cedar/Market districts is on the low side due to the large amount of commercial, non-resident space around the market, with no high rises near by. In fact density is 1/3rd that of Downtown Kitchener which we were talking in another thread is still not large enough to justify the Duke Food block to open on the weekends.


I welcome the fact that you intend to make this a priority, but may I suggest a carrot-and-stick approach to get the Cedar block going? Once that is in place, I guarantee you a thriving market every day of the week.
