By around 2020, the Commercial/Broadway intersection will have RRT radiating in 4 directions giving a very high inbound/outbound capacity. The plan shows only the Safeway site as part of Core Commercial/Broadway TOD area:
Quote:
Mixed-use, mixed scale (27-36 storeys)
Core TOD area in the immediate vicinity of the
station is the most significant in scale and consists
of a combination of highrise and midrise buildings,
with taller forms organized closer to the station.
Lower forms transition away from station.

IMO this is not nearly ambitious enough for this key transit junction. This intersection should at least be on par with the Cambie and Broadway area (as it is envisioned) where the Canada Line and 99 B-Line (and futere Evergreen Line) intersect.
Of course the status quo enforcers will be at full volume, even with this modest plan.
