I expect that Queen Street will be pretty nice in a few years, and a more important street than it is now. Clyde will also be semi-commercial, with the Trillium and two new developments. There will probably be a new NSLC at Queen and Clyde and then potentially more retail space mid-block on the third site.
Over the next 10 years or so I could see Queen evolving into a major pedestrian street connecting Spring Garden Road to the Fenwick area. The Fenwick development will bring in lots of new residents and the Sobeys may be redeveloped as well. It will be an interesting process to watch!

In adding to this optimism, I would like to see the older low-density residential buildings on Queen Street redeveloped, particularly the adjacent buildings south of Gerard Hall.
