The Cleary plan is an excellent idea. It would be wonderful for the University to offer classes downtown, too. Students definitely add to the vitality of a downtown, especially those who choose to live near where they study. Queen's University and its proximity to downtown Kingston is a wonderful example of a university student body contributing to a vibrant downtown.

I know that there are concerns about parking downtown now that the extra students will be at the Cleary. Has the College looked at a universal bus pass for its students? Transit Windsor could offer increased service from downtown to the College proper (potentially even express service). I know that the University students voted down a universal pass, but has this initiative been brought before the College students?

As for the downtown market: I believe that is the best use of the armouries and the city should close down Freedom Way while the market is open.
