You're right...it would be a smashing success. Our city was built around the human scale and easy walking/transit use.
A few proper choices now would turn this into an incredibly bustling downtown.
I agree with the fellow in one of today's articles that said the area around the Gore could be one of the most exciting public spaces in North America.
Unfortunately the hacks running the downtown BIA and the folks at city hall are more interested in speeding through town.
