Charles St GRT terminal redevelopment

[ijmorlan]

I think outside retail would indeed be much better in this project. Although I would personally put it on the (Kitchener) north side of King St, near the LRT stop.

The Victoria side is much longer. I’m imagining storefronts all the way to Duke St. breaking only for the bus exit approximately where Waterloo St. is now. There should also be some sort of provision for a public drop-off zone.

But that doesn’t preclude also having storefronts along King to the tracks, although one would have to think about how the grade works — do the stores go at sidewalk level or higher up, matching the Victoria St. sidewalk level, or even higher up at platform level?
