It can only be a good thing if the lower blocks of Howard are able to grab the coattails of this Centre street rebirth. Sadly the wild meandering of the light rail discourages all traffic flow. I am not against transit over cars, but this stretch of road is terrible for both. We have seen that it has discouraged renovation for decades. Additionally the side streets are used by commuters to exit the city, and these streets are also hampered by decayed roadbeds and crazy traffic patterns. If parking could be had near but not on Howard, it might be a reasonable answer to rebirth.
