Locke was in downright rough shape for many years and became known as a biker hangout. It's a much better street now than it was in the 80s until early 2000's.
Ottawa is also fantastic, with a different vibe. Ole Gourmet and a retro cafe/all-day breakfast diner are about to open on Ottawa St. Hoping for great success there. I was on Parkdale and Kenilworth yesterday and see gobs of potential on those streets too. First off, we need to lose the live curb lane and build permanent parking bumpouts with trees and gardens on both sides. There also appeared to be space for bike lanes between the parking and live centre lane. Remove parking restrictions for development and encourage mixed-use, artists lofts, affordable apartments and condos and I think those streets could resemble Queen East Leslieville in TO or various urban retail hoods through Portland.
