It sounds like you haven't been in that area in a while. I walk through there every day, and the improvements over the past few years have been dramatic. Every major E-W street on the west side of downtown has been improved from a pedestrian standpoint - Albert, Slater, Laurier (Queen was already pedestrian friendly). The intersections of those streets at Bronson are signficantly improved, and that will be extended west to Booth as soon as the new Library, which has solid streetfront presence incidentally, is open. Lebreton has a new MUP that opened last year.
Albert/Scott from Booth to Bayview has a ways to go as Lebreton gets built out, but the doom and gloom isn't really warranted.
