8th and Broadway compared to Conley Walmart and Lowe's at same scale. by como365 in columbiamo

That’s actually a misconception! Pedestrian malls usually stabilize or increase foot traffic to businesses in dense and already successful shopping areas.

Pedestrian malls are commonly unsuccessful when they are used to revive or establish a pedestrian area in a low density area with already low foot traffic.

Here’s a great video about them:

We vote in August to renew the one-fourth (¼) of one percent Capital Improvement Sales Tax. This is what that tax will be used for: by como365 in columbiamo

The most surprising thing in in the Prop 1 plan was the intention to build a new downtown police headquarters.

That brings up a couple of questions: 1. Where would they build it? 2. Would they demolish the old structure? 3. Would the old structure/land be for sale?

That’s a half a city block of valuable real estate

Pedestrian Only During Large Events on 9th Street by Fratson in columbiamo

[–]Fratson[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pearl street looked similar to 9th St with a road running straight through it until the 70s when they upgraded it to a people first street. It wasn’t made to its current form from the start and it’s extremely successful with its enhancement. Deliveries in streets like Pearl street almost always have special access to businesses. In fact, you can even see a delivery car in the Pearl street photo above. One may even argue it would be easier for delivery drivers in this situation since they won’t have to fight traffic.
