Maybe some of the others do as well. That is a lot of potential retail space to be filled over the next few years. A lot of new residents will be filling all of those condos and rental apartments. They will be shopping somewhere. The developers must be optimistic or they wouldn't be building.(07-02-2020, 11:34 PM)Acitta Wrote: It seems to me that when the ongoing construction downtown is finished and the new retail spaces are in use and the new condos populated, it will have a dramatic effect on downtown pedestrian traffic. Maybe not next summer, but the year after should show obvious changes I would think.
New retail spaces? That's optimistic ...
