On the other hand, there is a Safeway right across the street, a Superstore just down the road in Huntington, and a Save On in Hunterhorn. T&T a short drive away too. And whenever I'm in my old hood, Co-op is rarely on my radar for anything except gas.

Apparently the gas station, liquor store, and cannabis shop are going to remain in some form.

I wonder how many more people would shop there from Harvest Hills/Country Hills if the city eliminated that stupid bus trap on Centre Street?
