Charles St GRT terminal redevelopment

[cherrypark]

I think that putting condos here would be a giant missed opportunity.  Where else will the city get an opportunity to do a major city building exercise?  There are lots of other parking lots or lands available for condo towers - let the private sector get to work on that!

I vote for the expansion of Victoria Park!  When was the last time you heard someone say Central Park was too big?  It would be an amazing green anchor to the center of the city and allow for continued intensification!

Expanded park would be truly great! It would reach to just one block from King, and the pedestrianized Gaukel would make that connection feel natural and convenient.

If the choice is between closing Jubilee and closing Joseph, I think I’d be inclined to keep Joseph open and close Jubilee. But on the other hand, it’s probably fine to close both. Whether it’s politically feasible is another question…

Considering the fury generated by one-way Joesph and the proposal to cul-de-sac Water, I would think that is going to be tough sell with the VPNA making noise about it. Would be happy to be wrong, though. In the least they could further traffic calm them and make both not through streets to keep it the flow more local only.
