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.
Ha I was like where did you get that satellite image. Oh wait that IS Earl Armstrong and Limebank 🤣.
The only silver lining I found is at least the parking lots are on the inside with store fronts and patios on the side walk.

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.
