Exactly, before the old city hall was demolished Downtown used to be King and Frederick. Then it moved to King and Queen. It crawled Northwards to King and Ottawa with the opening of the new city Hall and the Charles St. bus station. Once the transit node opens Downtown will be defined by King and Water.

Very well said. I was just thinking about Kitchener's "centre of gravity" visiting a business near King and Queen the other day. The numbers start at Queen, but that doesn't mean that's still downtown's crossroads. King and Water probably will be it if not King and Francis or Victoria- the amount of traffic moving between the transit hub and Communitech and the businesses on Victoria might make that happen.

All that to say, an extremely positive experience for people on foot walking north/west along King past this site is extremely important. A few years after this is developed, it will not really seem like the bleeding edge of downtown at all.
