Broadway is so open and bright and airy. The view down to the river and across to Mt. Beacon is really unique. The original planners must have known so much even back when they laid the "8 Rod Rd." That's prime real estate. Imagine looking out your window on that view. So build a 3 or 4 story multiple dwelling and put a small terrace on it. A place where residents can sit and enjoy people watching or just take in the views of the river and mountain over a small summer dinner or relaxing after work. A few little nice restaurants along the way where people will want to come and enjoy a meal before going to the movie house or after doing some shopping (no McDonalds or KFC necessarily). And maybe a legitimate art gallery or 2 (Cornwall, Cold Spring, Kignston and Beacon did it and made good).

Public transportation. Regular busses from the city line, within the city. East-West routes on South St., Broadway and maybe one more to serve the south end/Heights area. North-South routes on West St., Robinson Ave., Grand St., keeping Liberty St. in its historic brick but using it to continue up to the Heights. More local jobs there. Regular schedules during prime hours for shopping and commuting for people who will work in the Broadway stores or commute on the trains.

OK. There's my start. My list can go on. But I give the floor (board) to somebody else. And wait to see if anybody else around here actually cares.
