It isn't, it never has been, and I'll bet it never will be.

Some of it is part of the Municipal Town Centre - but that's not the same as Downtown.

Getting higher density into some of the Broadway corridor will get nasty. Nobody much cares about old low-density commercial areas in the suburbs, or even large surface-parked malls, but that's not the case for residential neighbourhoods. This is the area where a new building can be described as "a six-storey tower".
