This was also a recommendation made by that bloke who conducted the study on 'Successful Mid-size North American Cities'. I forget his name (was it Professor Fillion? - something like that). I went to see his presentation at the Hamilton library last year. Basically he contended that many of the successful mid sized North American cities he studied had universities with downtown campuses. Students by their nature bring walking traffic, money and vitality to a neighbourhood. Pretty simple theory really. Demand for secondary education continues to be high - what are we waiting for?
