That's easy to answer. Naito isn't pedestrian friendly. It's five lanes of fast moving traffic, and it has many lanes of entrances and exists feeding into it. Naito is terrible. Naito is an obstacle that removes Waterfront Park from downtown. Yes, yes, Waterfront Park is downtown, but it isn't really part of downtown. Could you imagine how thriving Naito would be if it was just a typical city street? Naito is terrible.
It's tragic how much traffic gets fed through the heart of the city rather than around it.
