Downtown Traffic

I read in the paper this morning that you feel more traffic downtown will be good for business. I beg to differ with you. As a 67 year resident of this city I remember well when we had retailers by the score on the main street. Of course those days are gone thanks to malls and small strip malls. As it is there is more traffic than the area can handle. Personally I would rather see the area as pedestrian friendy and it is currently not.BP
