I wouldn't envision a road with sidewalks, but more of a well-designed, unified public space that could host events and that people would want to hang out in.

Maybe there can't be bike lanes, or the planned bike lanes move to Sparks. Surely they can find a way to accommodate the short bus.
I am not sure what makes it a good through route between Bank and Elgin. Elgin North of Sparks is just the PMO/PCO Complex so there is northing to get people that far North on Elgin. If they want a scenic route the Parliament Grounds offers many scenic options, including along the cliff edge, which I am sure will be quite impressive once the construction is over.

I meant Confederation Square, which is rarely lively.
