And if you can do that you'll be contributing to lessening car traffic yourself. Increased pedestrian traffic shouldnt be a problem given the huge upgrades to Metrotown station currently underway. Actually the most annoying thing about modello to me is that its located right next to willingdon which takes a long time to cross as a pedestrian given the 4 lanes and high speed of cars. My guess is we'll see traffic calming and perhaps a narrowing of willingdon near modello as more towers start going up.
Willingdon should get widened not narrowed. The lights should also be synced to allow smooth traffic flow. This is a major arterial road used by everyone in the region, not a private residential street. Its like people who move to airports and then demand the flight paths change to reduce noise.
