King-Victoria Transit Hub

[danbrotherston]

Wasn't there originally discussion of having some retail in the transit component, or am I misremembering?

Do you mean in the original proposal, with the partner? Or with the later region only proposal?  I don't recall there being any retail in the region only proposal.

I get the sense that the region does not like doing that kind of thing...(just see the discussion on childcare providers)

Of course, the Charles terminal contains multiple retail outlets, and such a provision would almost certainly be a good thing for the project.

I still can't get over my disappointment at the ridiculous lack of ambition for the project. I know they didn't manage to get a partner, but the fact that we're seriously going to pave a surface parking lot beside our central transit terminal just has so much symbolism, before you even consider the actual waste of doing so.
