Who walks on Princess Street?

While Princess Street does bring plenty of traffic into and through town, many of the businesses on it are too easy to ignore. Why?

  1. No dual sided parallel parking. Little of the singular side is metered. Drivers are not compelled to stop.
  2. The corner with German Street does not entice pedestrians to turn the corner.
  3. The summer sun can be brutal. At least German Street has a shady side during the hottest part of the day.

And again, it’s a B side to the grid. But what the B side lacks in grandeur, it does, can, and should compensate for in character. An urban garden, a promising new shop in an unlikely space, interaction with alleys and some unique structures suggest that the potential is there.

Consider this a teaser…
