Completely out of proportion with the dimensions of the street or its purpose. Main street should be zoned mixed commercial for its entire length, with no setback. That is the exact opposite of what that part of King St. used to be.
Agreed. What happened and is happening at King & Columbia, also a major intersection for the City, is just disgusting. One Columbia is the disaster I speak of. Terrible looking building, no interaction with the major streets or intersection. Now they are adding surface parking facing King Street. This may be the worst large development of recent years in Waterloo IMO. We can only hope that Council and Developers get it right for the east side of King Street on this stretch.
