  I try to stay hopeful for these kind of projects. I find the city’s done a decent job with redeveloping some areas, notably the Pine-Park interchange and Square Victoria. I will miss the grittiness of the Spectrum’s block - cities don’t feel like cities if they don’t keep some of the “old guard” blocks around. But if they’re reclaiming street lanes for more pedestrian/public space, I’m all for that.

  I believe that the building in back will become the ‘Centre des Festivals’ or something similar. That’s what I remember hearing at the Jazz Festival.

  i’m in a wait and see on this one. the whole public square thing is great of course. but it’s the giant big box stores that will be across the street that will be the problem
