To be fair, I wish a better location could be created for the Cenotaph - never been a fan of the corner at Frederick and Duke.Maybe if/when they expand Victoria Park up Gaukel to City Hall they could include a new location for the cenotaph.
Given the Ion line on Charles, that could run into the same problem, unless it were down at Joseph, somehow. How about a new municipal square on King (from Fritsch's down to the King Centre) to create a large space facing Carl Zehr Platz? I imagine that would create a public space, away from the Ion tracks but close to stations, that, with King St closed, could accomodate larger crowds than currently gather at Frederick and Duke. The bonus would be to create additional off-street space for all the events that close King Street.
