For the most part I'd like to see something like that implemented but becuase of major road changes since then I realise it can't be identical.

I think;

Buckingham should be built as a one block street between Brunswick and Abemarle to break up the wall of hotels currently dominating the area.

At the north end of Granville Street Mall a new narrow pedestrian street would be constructed heading down towards the Marriott entrance. As a result of this new street the area in front of the Morses Tea building would become a pocket park or public square.

Cogswell would extend down to Upper Water.

Hollis and Lower Water would merge to become Upper Water.

I know this is hard to picture so I'll draw up a sketch later on.
