East Beltline is a blank slate, projects like arriVa, Sasso, Vetro, Keynote, and Nuera have helped start the redevelopment. What is critical now is that it becomes more than just point towers, attention must be paid to the human scale and making sure that it is a great area to live and play in. Green space is a key part of this, hopefully this will not be ignored by future developments and the city.

At least for me, a bigger concern is a grocery store in the neighbourhood. What's the closest one to the condos around Victoria Park? Would it be the Safeway at 4th St and 25th Ave or the one at 8th St and 12th Ave? I don't really like the prospect of walking home to East Beltline with a load of groceries from either of those locations.
My wife and I would like to upgrade our condo in a few years, and the Victoria Park area has many nice buildings, but not having a grocery store within convenient walking distance is a deal-breaker for us.
