If you look closely at the plan, the buildings don’t create a proper street wall. The space between buildings is almost as wide as the buildings themselves. Each block is maybe 60% open space. It’s drawn as green which could be fields of grass but more likely parking. Either way, the buildings are not in an urban configuration. They are more like pavilions in a park. Individual objects that are not working together to create streets.
To create walkable and successful commercial streets the buildings need to be close together and right at the sidewalk, creating a strong street edge that connects to pedestrians.
Compare how the buildings address the sidewalk in the plan with one block of Corydon.
