The City IS thinking of closing Water Street to car traffic, but that still leaves Quebec, Cordova and a block's worth of Powell open to car conflicts.
Not to mention that four-fifths of Vancouver's pedestrians don't even f**king look before they jaywalk... yeap, the new fences are
really going to improve the downtown core.
