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.

Was going to comment the same - fair point if Bridgeport was not changing perhaps, but that streetscape is changing dramatically and for the better where this kind of density makes a lot of sense, not to mention proximity to amenities at the plaza and transit lines.
