The new plaza at Limebank and Earl Armstrong breaks ground Aug 21st. This is across from the new LRT station.

    I guess so lol, it’s not all bad and it’s not lost forever. You can build on those parking lots eventually and upzone the nearby streets.

    It also seems like it could have really good connections to active pathways to the north and the rest of the neighborhood. The single family homes aren’t mcmansions and have fairly small lot sizes. And there actually seems to be a bit townhouses (row houses? the houses that share walls with other houses lol) which is good.

    At first glance it was worse than I thought.

    There’s more details that could make it better or worse, specifically with the road design in the middle of the new development there, if traffic is slow enough it could be nice. Lots of trees would help tons too.

    It’s not the best designed place of course, but it isn’t the worst thing in the world and there’s probably potential for improvement down the line.

    Appreciate you sharing this

      Be interesting, it isnorth of the proposed RSS town center.

      If you’re interested RSS has a community development plan, which is an interesting read.
