Ditto. Trees planted any number of years in the recovery since the recession could have made PSP and the rest of downtown infinitely more hospitable than they are now.
The City understands this need, no doubt, but it seems there is no medium between going out with a jackhammer tomorrow vs having an extensive, expensive public process that might in many years transform Phoenix's desperately obsolete streets and sidewalks vis a vis 2nd Avenue--like they can't take a walk down ANY downtown street to know that it needs shade, yet Urban Form is taking two years to do exactly that.
Block by block, step by step. Hopefully CityScape will bring us three of both closer to that elusive ideal.
