Just because a concept succeeds once, that isn't evidence that the concept is good--especially when it failed 200 times.<br /><br />2. The original 3rd Street mall was similar to Fresno's Fulton Mall's park-like 1960s design. The more recent makeover restored it spatially to a formal urban street with the main pedestrian activity pushed up against the buildings and businesses and a roadway/median in the middle. It was designed to be a flexible space that could allow traffic, or be closed off to traffic. Only then did it thrive.plannerdanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10897742901494138549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7448898752702342685.post-91683774193671083522015-06-30T10:58:41.056-07:002015-06-30T10:58:41.056-07:00What about the third street promenade mall in sant...What about the third street promenade mall in santa monica?

Have you kept up-to-date on the current situation with the Fulton Mall? The city was granted a 16 million dollar TIGER grant to reconstruct the Fulton Mall, back into Fulton Street! Construction is slated for June of this year. It is a very exciting time in Downtown Fresno, with new developments starting in numerous places, a new city green park that will break ground this summer, new lofts being added to the Pacific Southwest Building, and much more! I'd love to discuss more with you, as I also have a blog "www.vintagefresno.com" which focuses on the history and future of Downtown Fresno. Hope to hear from you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11017421557079573713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7448898752702342685.post-52728632499233330532013-02-07T23:25:35.203-08:002013-02-07T23:25:35.203-08:00Wow, your father is the one with the foresight, no...Wow, your father is the one with the foresight, not me! Way to go, Dad!<br /><br />I lived in the Tower District for several years, so I know exactly what you mean. I love it and miss it. It is a spectacular neighborhood downtown, but it has had to act in many ways as the regional downtown due to Fulton Mall's shortcomings. Fresno is big enough to support small neighborhood downtowns and a big regional downtown, too.plannerdanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10897742901494138549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7448898752702342685.post-27774336133712224202013-02-07T23:17:18.498-08:002013-02-07T23:17:18.498-08:00What's up Brad!

It has good bones and fabulous history, but good decisions need to be made to get it out of its slump.

Friday night in the Tower District is where the action is. Pedestrians everywhere. Sounds of music and laughter coming out of every doorway, while the Downtown Mall is dark and desolate. At 5:00 pm, that sound of sucking you hear are the people fleeing downtown like rats leaving a sinking ship. I was born here, and grew up through the pre- and post-downtown mall eras. I remember my father saying: "It's going to ruin downtown". How prophetic.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03739890281546516522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7448898752702342685.post-81452617832603088182013-02-06T16:27:45.607-08:002013-02-06T16:27:45.607-08:00Hi Dan!Hi Dan!Bradley Fitzhenryhttp://mjrcg.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7448898752702342685.post-75717350986075952582013-02-06T14:19:03.319-08:002013-02-06T14:19:03.319-08:00Thank you for this Mr. Zack.

Now we are still at Square One, which may be too late for many of us. It was somewhat disheartening at yesterday's State of Downtown breakfast to hear that we are so many years away from the realization of Fulton returning to a street.<br /><br />-Melanie Davis Unguez, Owner of Twee BoutiqueMelaniehttp://www.tweeboutique.comnoreply@blogger.com
