A short update on Victoria's longest mid-block walkway  which just got better with the completion of the part between Cormorant Street and Pandora Avenue as construction on 750 Pandora wraps up with construction.

Now if something could be done to enliven the very shabby, subterranean Rotherham plaza this could be one of downtown's true gems.

I did notice the other day that they're re-paving the perimeter of the building.

...You can't have every building have a public space outside, no matter how nice...Unfortunately, we have a council that needs to be appeased with amenities with each building that comes for approval and these often come in the form of public space...

https://www.sidewalk...ew-janion-plaza

So why does our local government insist on this particular type of amenity over and over again? Our current population certainly doesn't require this overabundance of public space. I see little appetite to approve the kind of density increases needed to ensure these "amenities" are successful, so why continue to make them a condition of new developments?

Because they are easy for the developer and easy for the council to support. Can you imagine a councillor saying that this public space is a waste increase the building density instead?! Never despite it being simple math that it would be the better choice.

Love the signs, but I wish they actually had some useful destinations up on the top instead of random neighbourhood/area names which are kind of useless to a tourist.

I think the proper term is directionally fluid  ;)

New post up on one of my least favourite intersections in Victoria. I guess just to be fair it is awful for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who dislikes that intersection in particular.
