4 Ways to Fix the Market District
#10
The empty building really hurts the King St frontage of the Market and the various eateries, while OK in their offerings, are stuck with pretty uninviting eating areas.  I'd like to see the frontage from the Main Entrance toward Eby St turned into a couple of small restaurants that you could enter from the plaza itself.

Another thing I'd like to see would be a European-style "Market Cross" in the Piazza (which they should start calling a Platz)  to provide a sort of focal point.  Maybe big enough for people to sit on the steps of its base.

Edit:  Something else that I'd like to see would be some effort to direct the Saturday overflow traffic looking to park behind the New City Supermarket toward the Market Square parking garage.  To have a line of cars idling in the Lane and out onto Scott St waiting for a parking space is really not acceptable.
