-Add food vendors and allow street performing in the Lane to help draw people in off of Dundas.

-Team up with The MET to incorporate both sides of Dundas.

-Explore options with Fanshawe about developing a cafe that opens into the Lane.
I agree. Market Lane, to me, is an underutilized asset in the downtown that could be used for food stands, fruit and vegetable stands, flower stands, and so forth. It would be too difficult to make it pedestrian only however, since it is used by delivery trucks to the Covent Garden Market.
