These conservative (insert other adjectives here) people need a place to go away from the cosmopolatian attitudes found elsewhere and London seems to be where many decided to set up shop. Unfortunately for the rest of us who don't have a provincal attitude we're kinda stuck with it or inevitably are drawn away from our adopted or birth home of London.

An error occurred while saving the comment So if the stores go where the population is - then that means changing where the new housing developments are first - not targetting the big box stores themselves.
An error occurred while saving the comment I think one concern is that if we put a limit on where BIG BOX stores can open then they will just go somewhere where there isn't restrictions - thereby negatively affecting London's economy. [I'm not entirely sure but I think starting from "scratch" in a so called empty area may be cheaper then remodelling existing structures or tearing down? (I may be wrong hower)]
I don't think I'd have such a problem with opening a new CIBC about a block away from the old one if the new one was part of innovative and eco-design. If you must build big box powercentres design them to be friendly to cars AND pediestrians; Design them to incorporate eco-designs; make sure they aren't exact copies of each other but uniquely designed structures.

An error occurred while saving the comment Hedge mazes don't have to be meters high. There are landscape feature versions that could add intrigue to the area. Seriously do some research.
An error occurred while saving the comment Also junkies will find ANYWHERE to shoot up... deal with the problem not the locations where things MIGHT happen.

The London Eye is complementary to the Jubilee Gardens and the statues and attractions of the area.
An error occurred while saving the comment The rides (only a few) are part of the charm of it - most of the parks there had at least one - even some on the side of a street. The point was to make things dynamic and interesting. (Think of the London Eye in England)
An error occurred while saving the comment I also forgot to mention the donkey rides!
An error occurred while saving the comment Kids rent toy boats to use in the hexagonal ponds, large ferris wheel and swing ride and merry-go-round, rows and rows of trees (not random), snack cart venders, statues and art installations, fountains, geometric pathways and outlines to create visual intrigue, numerous varieties of trees and perennials
An error occurred while saving the comment Google and look at images of Jardins du Tuilleries to see what I am talking about!
An error occurred while saving the comment Right now it is extremely boring when there isn't a fest going on and I avoid it like the plague. After being to Paris France and seeing their thriving parks and nooks and crannys - London is extremely lacking in beauty and intrigue.

The idea of free parking in London’s downtown is a good one. It could bring people to the city’s core and encourage the commerce business owners need. LFP will explore the pros and cons of this divisive issue in the weeks to come.
An error occurred while saving the comment But the mindset exists and those who'd rather shop at malls so they don't have to pay do more than effect their own lives but the vitality of downtown.
An error occurred while saving the comment There would definately need to be an expansion of places people could park in addition to making it free to help avoid that problem. Those living downtown are parking somewhere anyway!
An error occurred while saving the comment When we go to event at the JLC we park for free at work on Grey St. and have to walk the 20 minutes up. Also, there are used book stores downtown that I love going to but because of the parking don't go as often as I'd like (instead of monthly I go only 2 to 3 times a year and only to one of the 4 I like instead) Same goes with the comic book shop and Comander Salamander! Galleria (City Plaza) is more affordable but then I'm on a time limit if I don't want to be paying after my 2 hours of free parking) As well, it is true that there are some of us out there who simply cannot afford the extra parking fees. We budgetted for our shopping but not for parking.

An error occurred while saving the comment @Trish Seriously read what I wrote - I didn't say the CURRENT trees were proto-types... I said there are metal carbon remvoing trees in-development (not by London) and that they sounded like something London would probably be interested in someday.
An error occurred while saving the comment There are actually proto-type designs for carbon-removing metal trees (check physorg.com) Sounds right up London's alley!

An error occurred while saving the comment Perhaps a reno of the outside of the building to modernize it?
I've been to Paris France which has a metro area of 12 million people. Many people say that Parisians are snobby and rude. This couldn't be farther from the truth. To "act" like a big city implying that big cities aren't personable and friendly is complete BS. It is true that London is lagging in this respect! In Paris, sales people were EXTREMELY talkative / inquisitive and people were so friendly that they would strike up a conversation with you along your journey... here in London sales people are hit-or-miss but I have never had anyone strike up a conversation with me randomly on the street or transit like I experienced there. So while agree there isn't much we can do about it - to deny that many Londoners can be conservative and unfriendly would be inacurate.
