There is no doubt that the Moody Centre area needs development and I am on board with most of what is being proposed in the area, with the exception of the 12 story mass timber building proposed on Murray St. which is too tall for that particular location, on the South side of an Oceanside boulevard and park area, but I think it is unlikely even the current pro-development council will approve that one.
Having a grocery store in Moody centre will be a huge benefit, as will another overpass over the tracks. It seems like the parking requirement may be relaxed somewhat although it still seems like a lot of spots for a location on top of a skytrain/West Coast Express station.
