Point taken, though walking through parking lots is not quite the urban pedestrian experience I had in mind. It's ill-suited to a suburb fast approaching half a million people that wants to redefine itself as a trendy, modern, eco-conscious city, and especially ill-suited given how close this block is to the city centre.
tybuilding, thanks for the links, though it's discouraging to see in them absolutely no plans in place to break up the mega-block currently in question. Despite the mayor's lofty ideals and the city's pretty "Surrey 75 years from now" diagrams depicting a glistening metropolis, it's difficult to take these projections seriously if city planners can't even have solid plans in place (however long-term those plans might be) for something as basic and commonsensical as pedestrian-friendly, urban street grid.
