There needs to be some good "thinking out of the box" on this one. There has to be a better way to incorporate the city into a convention area and not just have a big BLOCK to the flow of the city. I will be really opposed to closing more streets. I know there have been some design idea floated where we maintain retail and restaurants etc. I'm be fighting any other option. Cities build over expressways ( KC for one) and roads ( Tampa, Louisville) all the time. Just don't make it a big black hole to city life.

The previous recommended proposal wouldn't close any city streets and would have 1st floor food/drink.
