The Barrel Yards | 25 fl | U/C

I hope there is retail in the middle too

Does anyone feel like this will actually be somewhere people will want to walk?  I always thought any pedestrian traffic would just be residents coming and going from their buildings

Not that people will "want" to walk, but BarrelYards blvd is the extension of Menno Street, so it will be a key route to get to and from Waterloo Park. I have been in the situation many times that crossing through BarrelYards would be extremely convenient to get somewhere.
