re: underground heating. I don't know much about the system, but anything that removes more salt from the equation can't be that bad. Frank - what's so great about the west platform??

Gore: No disrespect meant to the handful of businesses that currently operate on the south leg of the Gore, but we really could and should have so much more there in terms of retail,cafes, restaurants etc.... Based on my transit-riding experience, most people just stand and wait for their bus as opposed to going to buy things from area restaurants. The pedestrianization plan, if done properly, will create an entire new district right downtown that is for people. Anyone who loved supercrawl, should be excited about the prospects of a pedestrian zone right in the midst of the beautiful greenery and fountain of Gore Park. Perhaps we'll see some of the cultural facilities of James North begin to spill into Gore Park area buildings. Sit on a patio at Al Centro currently and you are annoyed by the constant bus noises. Imagine all of that gone, and replaced with an afternoon sax player or violinist to complement the sound of the fountain etc.... The downtown BIA doesn't have a good track record with doing things properly, so make your voice count and your opinions heard and help the city shape the revamped Gore in a way that will be desirable for people to want to come to.
