Create a town square/cultural center at the intersection of Broadway and 1st avenue south. Close 1st avenue south as dead end only from 4th street going west and and 7th street going west. Access into all businesses could be via 4th and 7th with little trouble. The cultural center could be a town square with various events being able to be held there with city approval. Island Park creates a great backdrop for the square along with plenty of parking (POP) as the ramp is close. Keep parking along the streets as much as possible. 1st Avenue could also be widened for all diagonal parking if possible. I have seen a plan for a theater area down by the river proposed by the City of Fargo plannin department. With all the flooding and anticipated wait for flood protection, I think bringing the theater/square onto 1st avenue would make a good alternative and could happen. Lets do it now because it is possible.
