All of the great things you describe are available or can be expanded upon less than a hop away in the Exchange District on either side of Main St. in quieter pockets. P+M is not a pleasant place to dwell due to the wind shear created by high buildings lining both corridors, this is real and notorious. Can you imagine sitting down to a meal on a patio next to this intersection? I really can't.....traffic noise, traffic volume, traffic pollution and dirt whipped into your food and drink by a whirlwind would make this a once in a life-time event for me. You've been totally sucked in by the "stakeholders" renderings and bullshit if you think this could be morphed into a pleasant environment. Crossing the street is one thing, hanging out is just dumb.
