72 Roo Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 4 hours ago, Blue & Gold said: Good! The university and the city have much to gain by cleaning up Exchange Street and making it more friendly for the public. Look at what Kent has done with redeveloping their main drag. It is very nice and a destination for people after work and weekends. Exchange Street could be the same with forethought and imagination. The university has so many events that can draw people. With a nice Exchange Street with shops and restaurants those people will stay. The street improvement is the first step. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spin Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Why do I get the feeling they'll do the bulk of the construction during the football/soccer season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
