King-Victoria Transit Hub

[danbrotherston]

As much as I dislike the shown plaza, I'm surprised all the focus is on the plaza itself. To me the much bigger issue is Victoria St itself; it's hard for me to imagine up any desirable and inviting space in the presence of that road.

Do you mean because of the existing uses (empty factory building, blank condo wall, university entrance, and retail on one corner), or the planned uses (plaza and parking lot/bus loop), or the nature of it being a noisy four lane traffic sewer?

I can see both sides, I'm not an urban planner though, so I cannot evaluate well which aspects would have to change for it to be successful.
