Wider sidewalks, narrower driving lanes, on-street parking, and curb bump-outs are all intended to slow traffic, and therefore reduce accidents and improve the pedestrian experience.

Better late than never.
The PDF shows a date of "--'28" for the Michigan Avenue conversion. Lots of time to fit in more listening and feedback sessions. I support it fully, but enough with all the engagement. Plenty of forums, sessions, and opinion-gathering have been held. Just do it already. By the time this gets built, half the opinion-givers will have expired, and the costs will be triple.
Did anyone notice in the PDF that the current site of Water Street Coffee downtown has a blank triangle over it saying "Future Development".?
