They needed to completely redesign Smithfield Street. I would not be surprised if there was a Ghostbusters 2 hell slime river underneath.

The nexus seems to be that one street with the library, the church and the Burlington store. It's also right where the P1 busses pick up. It gets very very crowded at times, especially rush hour. I just think people get overwhelmed by the intensity and act out. Some of the things you see on that particular block will break your heart.

It's also right next to Mellon Park, which is for some reason closed constantly. It's a city park that we can't use. Opening that up would increase the openness and vibe of the place. If they have to assign a security guard, so be it. I think it'd be worth it. Wealth disparity factors in as well. Grant is business and Smithfield tends to be more affordable, low income (mixed randomly with mountains of wealth). They feel like streets in two different cities.

We need more breathing room, there especially.
