I wish the leaders of our fine city would look around at what others have done to enhance their downtowns...we are not alone. Boise is a start, maybe there are things to learn. I'm fine with creating an area for seating, food trucks are the growing trend but I would suggest we think about what would be the ideal...seems like this too has been tried with some issues and some successes. A patio where temporary seating supervised by vendors might be better, and trash and bathrooms are a concern.
