Create 1 (one) pedestrian shopping street in your city. Where do you put it?

Let's play a game. You are tasked with converting one street in your city that currently has cars to become a pedestrianized shopping street. What street do you choose?

Further clarification on rules of the game:
  • Pick only 1 contiguous segment of street. No, your city is not a special snowflake with too many to choose. The point of the game is to choose. You may opt to choose an "L-shaped" segment that covers more than 1 street in name, but your selection must form one single cohesive corridor.
  • Pick a street with shops. It's supposed to be a shopping street, not a mainly residential street.
  • Pick a segment of street at least 4 blocks long, but no longer than about 1 mile.
  • If your city already has a pedestrian street, you may choose to either select another street or extend the existing one.
  • This is not a thread to debate the merits of pedestrian malls. Just pick one; it's not that hard.
  • If you like, show us a map and/or photos of the existing environment or what you think it should look like.
