Although I have been to a few European cities before, it still absolutley amazes me how the small city of 40 000 that I'm in can have such amazing density and how there are probably the same, if not more, people downtown in the evenings than London.

Anyways, I say get the buses and parking off Dundas, build a bus terminal (I don't want Queens and King soiled at the expense of Dundas), widen the sidewalk, improve the streetscape, and hold pedestrian only evenings once a week. If all goes well, then we can consider making it a pedestrian only. However, if Fontanta is crazy enough to do this now, then I'd be alright with him giving it a try. At least he has visionary ideas, although they are sometimes problematic. I'll take them any day over the slow and steady monotony that makes this city so boring sometimes.
