What does DTK need?

I'm wondering what you've heard regarding pedestrianization? Last I spoke to a property owner along that stretch, they were opposing pedestrianization to maintain access to their parking (and didn't seem to think pedestrianization would happen from their talks with the city).

I’ll be annoyed if pedestrianization doesn’t happen. There is no parking that requires Gaukel St. to remain open, other than possibly a quarter block to connect the laneway to the parking entrances. That part could just be done as a woonerf — put bollards along King and Charles to prevent any vehicular access from there, and allow vehicles to access that block of Gaukel only from the laneway.
