Every major Canadian city, has some sort of super-block shopping center (ex. Rideau Centre in Ottawa, Eaton's Center in Toronto, Edmonton City Centre in Edmonton etc.), and all of them with the exception of Hamilton's Jackson Square have been extensively renovated to be more pedestrian friendly and include access to public transportation. I still do not understand, why Hamilton has not considered investing money to do the same. In the 1970's the downtown core was built-up around such a project, and now with all this focus surrounding urban renewal we neglect to invest in this vital piece of infrastructure. I'm happy to see investment into the City Center, but upset that the structure still turns away from the street.
