Would like to see a permanent farmer's market / something that equates to St. Lawrence Market or Granville Island in terms of fine foods and products in stalls. The space might be tight for that though.

I don't see a Granville farmers market type space as being economically viable. The rents are astronomical on Stephen Avenue. It will have to be heavily subsidized and there isn't enough residential population. They tried that already in the 90s in Eau Claire. Maybe another Sunterra though for almost ready food for the convenience crowd.
