I'm partial to institutional type buildings on the North Selection of University Ave., preferably ultra modern like originally proposed. That said the continuing slow redevelopment of University's South end with high end densification works for me as well. Now if we could just get rid of those parking lots North of the greyhound bus terminal I'll be a happy camper.
