Wider sidewalks could be nice all around Downtown (5th, 6th, SPRING, etc). It wouldn't have any effect on the overall shittiness that is all the bus stops and the hoards that surround them (sorry to tell it like it is). A couple of the worst sections to walk; the spot in front of Macys plaza, and the spot in front of Ross. Two massive sidewalks.
Here's a pic taken today in front of the beloved Ross.
Theres no point talking about the terrible effect the bus stops have on the overall feel of downtown - it can sadly
never be fixed. Heres another image taken this evening right after they pulled the paper down on Andrew Meierans long overdue store at the corner of 7th & Spring. Looks extremely cool!!
