Sky-tunnels ;>) are a marvel, and you can even watch, "Waydowntown", a Canadian movie, just for fun. 
My point is, you can't kill any street-life if there isn't any. But if you can get more people downtown, you can create a better, safer, more exciting environment. The past civic governments have only seen the downtown core as something to milk to death in taxes and fees for even the slightest visit, and for which they have been successful. Look how they gloat about how much they've raised through parking fees! Pathetic scum. It should cost to park in the burbs, and be free in the best part of the city, the core. Yea, you're right. Then the core would actually be the best place to live, and then we...never mind.
How's our new mayor doing? I'm not familiar with his "core" policies. I hope he's smarter than.... |
Just an observation:
Granted, Saskatoon has 70,000 more people in its metro area than Regina, but...
Regina has skywalks.
Saskatoon doesn't.
Whose downtown is more vibrant?
