The thing about the boardwalk being part of two cities is true. Which I feels just reinforces the fact that we need to amalgamate two completely different planning departments for a couple cities that outsiders would have no idea where one begins and another ends. Its ridiculous.
In terms of it being on the edge of the city, so is the west 5 development. I get the garbage dump thing so that could potentially effect its marketability. I just feel like the boardwalk was close to trying something new then decided to build a sea of parking spaces in front of box stores.
Sports world could have been zoned differently. They were planning the lrt it would have helped the business case if they had zoned the hole area around moose winooskis a mixed use.
Williamsburg had good intentions, but ultimately is a failed sad attempt at greating a village feal. They basically started with half a block then gave up built a giant park lot and a sobeys. And a stip mall across the street. They also don't have residential above the retail..
