R+T is very suburban?
#26
The R&T Park is a complete failure in urban planning, and there's no easy way to fix it.  I know this is a pipe dream, but IMO all parking lots should be moved behind the buildings and away from the main streets (Hagey Blvd. and Wed Graham Way).  Next, mixed-use developments should be built along Hagey, with ground level retail and condos/apartments.  Double-width car lanes should be reduced to one lane so that they can add on-street parking.  No idea why there are roundabouts in the R&T Park.  Roundabouts are not nearly as safe for pedestrians as traditional intersections - and during non-COVID times, apart from the evening commute, there is very little traffic in the R&T Park.  I agree that there should be a moratorium placed on all new developments in the R&T Park until they develop a proper development plan.  Such a shame that eVolv1 was just recently built (and right beside the LRT station no less).  Have we learned nothing from our past mistakes?!
