I'm surprised anybody in the NW even wants more development. It was my understanding thistle, dead grass and mosquito larvae are prime examples of nature's majesty and are not to be disturbed. That's the argument for keeping Nosehill ugly, anyway.
More on topic, the City needs to go even further with this type of foresight. The biggest thing that pisses me off lately is building all these giant communities, then after they're complete, feebly trying to upgrade the infrastructure (roads in particular) to account for the increased traffic volumes. Upgrading the roads should be the first step before the first foundation is poured in a new neighbourhood. The way we do it now is back asswords.
