Hopefully they make the central street more pedestrianized in the final design 
Otherwise pretty cool!

That angle parking takes up a criminal amount of space. Make those two blocks of main street into pedestrian only and this complex could be a truly fantastic community and destination. I also really like the proposed pedway link directly to the transit station. Overall great but that main street hurts my soul with how closely they missed the mark.

Well it's adjacent to the LRT is it makes sense that the central zone be dominated by wait... parking?Hopefully they make the central street more pedestrianized in the final design

Yes, the angle parking here is ridiculous. However, I realize not everyone will take LRT despite its proximity so a limited amount of parallel parking would make more sense here, more for people with disabilities, loading/unloading.

Note that some of those images appear to show a massive above ground parkade on the north end of the development, so I don't think turning over the central Avenue to pedestrians would be a big sacrifice.

Can use all the other streets connecting to the main street for those things.

Let's compromise and embed some tracks so ETS can angle park their LRVs for storage.

The developers will do what they think works to encourage people to live here. I really doubt will involve a pedestrian only street which will make access more difficult.

Difficult for who? Adding loading zones on the intersecting streets wouldn't add any significant time, and the trade-off would be a significantly better pedestrian experience.
Just think of what you can do with a space that large. Restaurants can have patios, there can be nice planters and seating, space for festivals and markets and food trucks and buskers, maybe even special occasion beer gardens, and plenty more that I can't think of right now.

No kidding. This is all conceptual and will change as it goes through the various levels of approval with the city.Hopefully they make the central street more pedestrianized in the final design
