Downtown's too large. Changing Broadway to Residential will create an exciting and inviting new downtown Residential district PLUS will also help to condense the remaining commercial areas of downtown.

Everyone wins. Problem solved.
you can see the new foucs on portage ave, but i'm thinking a strategical, residnenial densification would win in the end..
