Make it more walkable!

When I first moved to Kitchener, sadly my first impression came from all of the big box, parking lot store plazas around the city. I have now lived here for a few years in 2 different neighborhoods and haven't had anything close to a little cafe within walking distance. There are parks near me which I'm really happy about but not a lot of spaces to gather in. To gri anywhere central in the city takes 35-40 minutes on public transit but 10-15 minutes by car. I would really benefit from a more pedestrian friendly city with neighborhood centres that aren't just a disjointed parking lot plaza with big chain stores.
