@soca_arch is one of the leaders articulating this approach. Their rendering below, depicts a mixed-use laneway with small-scale retail & a recreational space (b-ball court) overlooking it. I encourage you to check out & reference their import work as you advance convos :)
Looking forward to this!

Thanks @soca_arch
Nice chat at @MonarchTavern w/ owner @georgiades, @alexbozikovic @soca_arch & Aaron Letki of Contra Cafe on the benefits, challenges and ongoings of expanding non-residential uses in ‘neighbourhoods’ - #1 way to get people out of cars is to expand walkability and it starts here.
