I haven’t read anything outside of what’s written in the article, so I don’t know the specific details. The image that came to mind were indeed those N1-N3 zones where the side streets are packed with cars all year long lol and every other neighbour has interlock replacing their front lawn.

I am in favour of the ease of creating businesses in mixed-use neighbourhoods. I think I was driving through the Ottawa West region a while ago and thought you just don’t get those small businesses peppered about in suburban areas, so that’d be a welcome change.
