Uptown Public Realm Strategy

[robdrimmie]

And if those public squares were a block away, would it matter? do people go there because the city hall is there or because there is lawn chairs set up and an ice rink? Judging by Waterloo, it does not.

This is a strong point. Waterloo Public Square serves much the same purpose as Nathan Phillips and Carl Zehr Squares do and I think a big part of that is their position right in the midst of the core, rather than on the edge.
