Obviously people on the west side needed a convenient place to shop I just wish there was a bit of a visionary when i came to that development. On that note I think south Kitchener will need something similar to the boardwalk in the next decade so I hope the city/developer has a bit of courage to do something different and provide a true community hub for the residence.
I'll second what the user above me said regarding Williamsburg.
As for The Boardwalk -- you'd have need both Kitchener and Waterloo agreeing on the development, being that it straddles the two cities 50%/50% -- however, the entire piece of land is basically at city limits as well, and likely too close to the dump to have any appeal for most people. I am guessing that Sportsworld could not be or wasn't zoned for residential for whatever reason.
