Description

Downtown has no retail and limited restaurant options available to the public. The higher end restaurants seem to do ok down here, but there is a limited variety. Suggest recruiting (and subsidizing for a limited time) more restaurant options for the public to choose from downtown such as a bakery, sandwich shop, and even fast food. Suggest recruiting more retail for downtown. Suggest addressing parking issues downtown (perhaps complementary parking when you've down retail business downtown). Suggest more "events" downtown (for suggestions look at Forrest Park in St. Louis where they have concerts, drama, festivals, etc. nearly every week, and many times more than one night per week). The baseball stadium is a good idea. As it is, downtown isn't a destination. People go downtown with a specific destination in mind.
