Would there be a way to have an outdoor mall, similar to Midtown Village that would not have streets and parking jammed up to the store doors? We don't HAVE to be able to park at the front door of an area in order to patronize it. AT Midtown Village there is a very nice courtyard area but it is surrounded by a street and parking places. It would be easy and more pleasant to park in a parking location (maybe bhind the shopping area) and walk from store to store shopping and maybe stop to eat an ice cream or drink coffee while sitting on a park bench in the courtyard area. We need shade trees (evergreen ones like oaks and madnolias need little care and provide shade year round).
Exercise will help all of us and the mall could be handicapped-accessible for those in scooters, wheelchairs, etc.
