The first place I rented when I moved out in 1990 was in Altadore. Back then it was a cheap, sleepy part of town. Lots of affordable rentals, seniors who have been living in the same bunglow for 40 years, etc. The original Tropicana (when it was a genuine biker bar), Dal’s Chicken, the old Altadore Safeway, Casablanca video, Kathmandu Cafe.
Very different vibe now, obviously. They did a great job with Garrison Woods, and the Marda Loop area is an obvious candidate for densification. But the traffic problems aren’t going to go away. Most people who live there or visit to go to a restaurant still drive cars. A buddy in my gaming group lived on 34th ave last year, and we stopped doing game nights at his place because of the hassle of needing to park 3 blocks away.
