that too, but you can argue employers follow the same 'path of least resistance' that people do. it's no surprise most new development of any nature will be in the vicinity of henday.
I also think Edmonton is well past the point of developing strong employment nodes that make mass transit lines easy to plan and develop. we're doomed to dispersed commuting patterns here
that's why I've argued in past that in Edmonton LRT money would be far better spent completing sections of our existing road network to freeways that can be used more efficiently by cars, commercial traffic and transit vehicles alike!
and if that in turn makes some of the underdeveloped pockets within the city more appealing for business and residential development, so much the better
