The street grid actually almost perfectly matches the block lengths of the neighbouring subdivisions. Mabye not ideal, but certainly contextual. I'd want to see one more road cross the Allen immediately south of Ranee, though, instead of having 4 culs-de-sac. Punch Rondale over to Stockton, or punch the extended Ridgevale through to the extended Blossomfield. With the Allen running through the middle and with limited street connections to adjacent areas, the street grid is somewhat constrained and they've done a decent job. It'd be less coarse if there were more townhouses instead of 8-12 storey complexes.
I think the whole idea was filtered permeability: pedestrains have more options for crossing the expressway than do cars. This might lead to the Regent Park effect, though.
