But right now most people want cheaper homes, not bike lanes. Build the homes first so you evolve and grow the neighbourhood and sense of community, then those living there will be more inclined to want infrastructure improvements and then demand them.

I think jwilliamson's point is "Why do we force all high density housing to major arterials?". Basically, we're saying that people that live in high rises aren't deserving of the quiet streets that many detached homeowners enjoy. We should distribute our density off of major arterials.

I guess all those buildings in Northdale on Hemlock, Larch, Lester and Sunview don't count? I just don't understand your point here. Density needs to start somewhere. Personally I think Bridgeport and Erb are perfect locations for higher density housing. The region is planning to revert both back to two way streets with separated bike lanes in the near future.
