Well Downtown Halifax must see no less than 40,000 people a day, I mean 20,000 work there not to mention all the in/out of town business people and government workers, tourists, shoppers and people going thru for one reason or another

When I used to live on Oxford I used to walk the MacDonald every Saturday night in good weather down to the Dartmouth ferry and come across. Even at 11pm there were times when the ferry had quite a nice crowd

I agree that more density is what's needed downtown and with more density comes more people. The only way to both make a downtown grow and to presrve parts of it is to make sure it has a thriving community of people who live there. I wonder how many people actually live downtown now?
