Nor should it. This is a fantastic restaurant street waiting to happen.

WislaHD, that would be an excellent development. Yes I too like the towers but the low level restaurant or retail street here and there provides character and makes the downtown more liveable.

I am not so sure about the potential for restaurants on Draper. There is no available parking - the parking spots are on the east side of the street are for residents by permit only 24 hours a day - and all are taken. The mere thought of the traffic increase, with restaurant supplies being delivered, the additional garbage pick ups, staff and guests being dropped off or picked up, illegal parking activity, would be enough to generate a huge push back. The Draper community is extremely tight and well connected - know in the area as 'The Republic of Draper'.
While reluctant to go out on a limb and say something will never, ever happen - I would certainly be most surprised to see commercial use of this nature in my lifetime.

The developers can leave the houses alone but there is a lot of low density offices and parking lot and under utilized stuff that can be re-developed.
All the stuff that I have highlighted in Yellow can be re-developed without effecting the residents of the area.

The majority of your highlighted area already has approved or under-construction development.

I miss the mini-maps that were at the top of each individual thread showing where that specific site was.

This diagram will be super exciting to watch.
I love how you decided to just not bother with Bay Adelaide North. The true mark of significance is fast becoming "will it get a Contra diagram"

I briefly considered doing it and in the process fell asleep from boredom so it got thrown out.
Like The One, if folks can try to get as many wider shots as possible (especially from this angle) it'll help me draw them with more accuracy. This is, of course a group-effort. Can't do it without the amazing documentation.
