4 Ways to Fix the Market District

[Spokes]

Eby should be made one way going west so cars can't turn left from King Street. There's so much pedestrian traffic that it just causes a backup and then cars are parked (or worse just idling) all along the curb so its effectively a one lane street on Saturdays already. Market Lane on Saturday mornings is usually filled right up with cars idling in wait for the elusive open spot in the New City lot.

I'd much rather see what Panamaniac said and just close it off, if at the least on Market days, and ideally all the time.

I think the actual Market is unwelcoming and poorly designed. I'm not an architect but everything about the building seems so convoluted. I think the desolate plaza and empty buildings in front do drag down the whole neighbourhood... eating there on a weekday is like eating in a cave.

I agree with you. And the plaza is VERY disconnected with the street with it being elevated. Not sure how it could have worked given the various grades though
