Hopefully new development would help to clean up such.

It is. A lot of issues in that stretch from just beyond 108th (more like around 112th) to maybe 105th is that there are a lot of empty lots and poor lighting. So it just attracts the undesirables. You go across the street from this project and you have for example, a brand new hotel and townhouse complex, then right beside them 2 open lots with dumped garbage, couches, and furniture.
And then you have the road lanes which are narrow, no sidewalks, ditches, etc. still. Definitely a lot of work still needing to be done.
This project though gets rid of the largest empty lot right around Gateway so there's that but it will still take a number of years.
