I think this would be a great opportunity to enhance the landscaping and aesthetic look of the area that was most greatly impacted and also the existing surrounding area (in front of University Mall/Midtown Village down to the interstate). Trees and shrubs, flowers, sidewalks, decorative lighting etc along the medians of 15th and McFarland. I would say give it a similar look to what Tuscaloosa is doing to the Downtown/UA area. It could GREATLY enhance the whole overall look of the city. Also, I would put something in place that made the businesses keep up a certain standard of landscaping/overall appearance of their business like other cities have (Hoover, Mtn. Brook, etc all have something similar to this). In other words try to prevent some of what the businesses had became on 15th Street before the tornado.
