This is what I'm most excited about from the article fridaynla posted. You can have all the residential buildings built and occupied, but if your environment still looks like crap (think Broadway swap meets), it won't be an urban playground. It'll be either ugly and/or desolate still.

Warren mentions the 110 bridge and I'm curious what kind of pedestrian enhancements they have in store. It is definitely NOT a pleasant trek over that bridge. Especially if you're walking uphill from Downtown into City West on a hot sunny day.
