I would disagree about the walkability - it's arguably the most urban, walkable area in Richmond - part along Number 3 Road, but it is pretty much a mish mash at this point. There are so many strip malls along Number 3 that it will take decades to replace them with coherent urban development, plus with no laneways, just about all of the site access is via curb cuts and driveways on Number 3. On weekends, when it seems like everyone in Richmond drives to go eat and shop along Number 3, the street is a parking lot. It's the only place in the region where I regularly see surface parking lots at shopping centres and strip malls full (as in Christmas rush full) on a regular basis on weekends.
