As long as it's only government office buildings where only people with a security pass have access to them, as well as having all the cars coming off the Parkway, it won't be anything more than what it currently is. I don't know if I care for having such an austere street, because to me an austere street is an unfriendly one.
I still remember being stopped on Wellington by some German-speaking tourists, looking for beautiful Confederation Boulevard.

I didn't need my rusty German to interpret the look on their faces when I told them they were standing on it.
