Wow, residential which is great of course but the requirement of building space for  – arts school, creative arts studio, art gallery, theatre, office, retail outlet, farmer’s market, museum and restaurant/cafe, is what is is going to change the character and people activity of the Mulock Ave/Lloyd Ave area.  Coupling this with the probable opening of a organic supermarket at the 43 Junction Rd site, the community could have its own Leadenhall Market – although outside, new city art and craft area, which the city needs as most of the others have been removed for condo development.
