This won't be much of an issue soon, with other multi-use developments completed in a few years, but in principle it's senseless. This is King Street through the core, it should have street-facing commercial along its entire length, with few exceptions.
I think this is key, and an important one. I think this is something that is missing from our communities is small community facing retail. It's something we don't build or build very little of when we are building new communities and I think it's a major problem. It would compound that problem if we start to lose it in the only real community we have left.
