Part of the problem is that they are taking concepts used elsewhere and trying to apply them here, but fail to take into account that where they have been done elsewhere, streets involved were much wider and therefore offered much more flexibility. Making Argyle essentially a 1-lane path was a very bad idea.
I disagree, businesses are quite happy having year-round patio options and larger outdoor eating areas as well as more foot traffic. Also, there is no reason you need to have Argyle St as a car-oriented street. It is not that crucial to traffic flow downtown.
