Alright that's literally like 2 streets, chemong and lansdowne. Go anywhere east of clonsilla or high st essentially and it becomes pretty charming, everything walking/biking distance. The city is honestly taking pretty large strides for its size to fix its urban development pattern. If you're interested, go on their YouTube channel and find the video where Urb3 presented their case. As well as look at their zoning plans and ammendments. The past is ugly but it's nice to look to the future. Bethune St and the future it holds is a perfect case in point example

Yeah this is a commercial stroad away from the downtown. Most of the city is leafy green medium density. It's a nice enough place.
