It isn't just the transition; the northwestern part of downtown itself just isn't that great. Mid 20th century urban renewal resulting in parking podiums, commie blocks, set backs, blank walls etc. Basically everything in the triangle between Barrington, Duke, the Hill and Cogswell is... blah. Probably will be tough to fix although the planned addition to Scotia Square and some recent construction including street-level retail on Brunswick are helping.
