how old are you? the reason I ask is because your view of York may be tainted due to living during expropriation and the impending 'renewal' plan.
Older folks who remember it back long before the city started planning their idiotic renewal say it was a bustling, booming street as evidenced in photos.
Regardless, I'd rather have the potential and streetwall of Barton street than an empty, friggin highway.
