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.

It is still disappointing. When I naturally come to Bayview on the train, it is a wasteland all the way over to Booth. Maybe, a little better on the downtown side, but when I suggested Zibi for the meet up. there is still nothing there. We have public buildings and national monuments but it is still not really a draw. It would be so nice to have some sort of nice walk way or MUP with a bit of landscaping and benches coming from Bayview even if only temporary, until the arena is built in 10 or 20 years.
