I referred to the existing pedestrian mall on Market Street. Unless I've completely mixed up the names of the streets, my understanding that this currently is the section of Market Street between King and Front, just to the west of the North Market and St. Lawrence Hall. If this isn't Market Street what street is it?
As DSC notes, that's Market Lane Park. We're referring to the development on Market Lane between Front and The Esplanade right next to the South Market.
During the winter that stretch seems desolate ... a rare piece of downtown where no one is around you when you walk down it. And judging from the snow heaped up in the middle of street, no one lingers.
What has happened in summers past?
Hopefully the new North Market will result in more action. I always thought this park could use an upgrade. Outside of some vendors on some days, there isn't that much appealing about it and I have often thought it could use a bit of cleaning. Lots of potential there.
