~ More drinking fountains. Add pet bowls at their bases for all the folks doing the Downtown Pooch Walk.

~ Pedestrian crossings at mid-point of all downtown superblocks. Add flashing yellow light standards to alert drivers.

~ No deliveries during rush hours on NP & 1st avenues north.


~ Clear-glass storefronts mandated on all retail shops.

~ Mandate retail at street level on all new development in the central district.

~ Mandate setbacks on new developments of a few feet to widen the sidewalks. These patios can be used for outdoor dining, or the city can add tables/chairs/benches/trees & flowers for card players, chess matches, people watching, romantic rendevous, kibbitzing and so forth.

~ Pocket parks.

~ Place a moratorium on all new development until we have a routing overlay in place for new skyway segments. New segments of skyways must be incorporated into developers' plans and will finally release downtown habitues from the tyranny of those 80 trains per day in the central district. (Coming Soon: MORE TRAINS!!!)

~ Brighter lights on Broadway, for the love of Mike. Why are these bulbs so dim? Are they on rheostats?

~ Mandate subgrade parking under new development. Public underground parking garages can also double as shelters during wind storms.
