Yes, although after some point in time I don't think something can be considered to be temporary. I don't know if there are any rules about this, but to me something like 3 to 5 years makes sense.
If you hadn't mentioned grass, I would've thought you were referring to this.
Properly lit, landscaped, hard surfaced and drained.
As someone who lives a block from here and bikes extensively, this was a huge positive game changer for us!
Yeah, that's the thing - people turning right rarely look if there's anyone on the path. The worst one is the bigger intersection by Bellamy, Rossdale, and 103 St. Those are iffy at best since the lane closest to you will stop if they see you but the same cannot be said for the further lanes. We've also found that a lot of people now cut through the neighbourhood via 101 St from 97 Ave to Rossdale Road and I keep forgetting to call the city about it because they zoom through with little regard for the fact that it's a quiet residential area with plenty of dog walkers and cyclists.
Architecturally, none of these six-story buildings is remarkable or even particularly good. But the street-level feel is really nice, and there are a lot of nice, unique shops around.
Yes, it is good to see what was an area of small, old commercial and warehouse buildings become a decent more dense residential area.
