That is one project that i really with the city would jump in and "incentivize" because it could drastically accelerate the rate of gentrification and improvement.

If I can remember correctly, I believe that one of the aspects of the Grand Ave. plan was re-landscaping the street to make it more pedestrian friendly, adding trees and whatnont.
And I stand by my believe that Park Fifth was the most important project for downtown, and subsequently was the biggest loss of the recession. Every day I wish it was built, but it sadly really never had a chance.
