Its good to see the area around the Royal Alex LRT station densify. More eyes on the street is exactly what the area needs. Lets hope a developer builds a funky building on the vacant land on the opposite side of 101 St.

Some fast food restaurants like McDonalds have security guards. There was a security guard at the kingsway location last time i was there. It depends on the location and weather the owner can afford a security guard. I have also noticed that fast food restaurants in rough areas have been...

On the subject of ebike/scooter parking, they could also charge them up for a fee enabling everyone from bedroom comunities such...

Do those copper tiles have a protective coating to prevent patina? I hope they are fastened securely to prevent theft.
