There are a few things outside of Auburn's capabilities, but that would improve the development and overall neighbourhood a lot.
First, it would be nice if Kent was extended to Heiman somehow. It would offer a nicer alternative to Ottawa for crossing the tracks for people in the neighbourhood immediately west of the site, and the development will be offering quite a few retail amenities that would be benefit from the access.
Second, it would be nice if the City of Kitchener took this opportunity to fully develop a few greenways. Properly connecting the Shoemaker Creek Greenway between Meinziger Park and the IHT with a MUT would be an important link, which the development would open up, in part. A second link from the IHT up at Madison down to this development would also be nice. I'm pretty sure that a trail could fit under the Stirling Bridge next to the tracks.
