I love the idea of keeping these mid-block connections and reinforcing them with retail and public space. I live directly across from the Dundas opening and cut through these parking lots on almost a daily basis. Whether it's to get to the King Street bike lane, Citi Plaza, a friend's house in Old South, etc. Sometimes it's just nice to take a different route to the same place, or avoid some hustle and bustle at DnR.
Very cool concept. It definitely beats filling that gap with a store and a corridor to some apartment tower's lobby.
