I'd like to see the details of the Charter; and information on how the upscale businesses were convinced to come in. --Cheryljns 13:56, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Also, isn't this area the one that funded its improvements by charging for parking (something seen as a bad idea by most business districts)? Jason McHuff 08:07, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

The area defined as Old Town doesn't make sense, notably: "north on fair oaks to de lacey street" --Mijoru (talk) 07:05, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Re traffic intersection when it's all cars stopped, all pedestrians can cross.

A pedestrian scramble, also known as a 'X' Crossing (UK), diagonal crossing (US), scramble intersection (Canada), exclusive pedestrian phase, and more poetically Barnes Dance, is a pedestrian crossing system that stops all vehicular traffic and allows pedestrians to cross an intersection in every direction, including diagonally, at the same time. It was first used[citation needed] in Kansas City, Missouri and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in the late 1940s, and has since then been adopted in many other cities and countries. It was most recently adopted in Toronto in 2008 and in London's busy Oxford Circus in 2009.[1] The most famous implementation of this kind of intersection is in Shibuya, Tokyo.

For an all-pedestrian phase, sometimes referred to as a "barn dance" or "Barnes dance," the total pedestrian delay is of the same form as that for a single crossing: which shows that this pattern is clearly part of the federal traffic description.
