even though I'm in favor of banning cars, I might actually agree with this. Market street is a terrible pedestrian street. It's too wide so it doesn't feel personal or charming. It's too windy, there are no trees or other features that might mitigate this, and so you will never see significant outdoor features like cafes and restaurants. Not even to speak of the homeless problem.
I would love for the government really invest some money into making market street into an attractive public space, with new park space, some kind of promotion of the area/funding for small businesses etc., but I don't think this is it.
Even with this change I'm not really sure I can envision what kind of space it would be. Maybe just extending the bland faceless non-pedestrian oriented old navy /westfield vibe from 4th & market?
