I've heard alot of people with good ideas for things to put downtown, and I'm curious to hear other opinions.
I for one would like more restaurants/lounges/ and patios for the summer.

How about more people living downtown to go with all that?

Downtown needs more than just one/two bedroom appartement/condos. We need some 3+ bedrooms ...basically there will be a need of a safe community for famillies. As for retail, downtown needs to rezone some areas to accomodate major retail. And more security for late night shopping.
But also we need more than just retail to bring people downtown, I hope a Music hall of fame would make its home in downtown Winnipeg; remember when everyone embrassed in having an inside waterpark but it fell through I would suggest that wet'n'wild or fun mountain change their venue to an indoors waterpark in downtown. I would also like to see downtown a classy upscale casino that could share venue with the struggling WSO and Ballet.
I also agree army surplus is an eye sore I think it also show to visitors that downtown winnipeg is a rough place to be so go buy a gun. I think the human rights museum would be better suited close to the legislature or on memorial blvd. and not the forks it just doesn't seem to fit well there.
I hate to say this but the salvation army has to move from higgins. From higgins all the way to portage and main. it needs to be totally revamped, a nice touch would be behaving shops of aboriginal culture (artwork, leatherwear, restaurants, etc).
I would love to see the U of W expand like the U of M but that will probably never happen.
I think the Met center across from the MTSC would make an exellent place for a Jets and Manitoba hockey hall of fame and use the theatre for Jets pay-per-view, press conferences,and team awards.
I would like to see a Jets practice rink that seats around 4-5 thousand seats with sports shop that specialize in hockey and a footlocker, rivercity sports and a sportcheck, with restaurants and perhaps some offices and a sports physio.

From Balmoral and Isabel area to downtown,I think that area in itself would make good area to start in changing those areas into better and newer housing to attract richer famillies downtown, if you would build side by side brick/stone housing like they have on the Cosby show. I know these areas are rough neighborhoods to live but if we steadily changed these areas year by year it will work, also a temporary cop shop should help out somewhat.
