i think that a cleaned up westport road that's home to an expanded qt would serve more customers. many, many, people avoid that whole area because of the congestion. qt is trying to help their public while at the same time improve their bottom line and i'm all for it.
of course, the guy who lives 5 miles away in downtown and doesn't drive a car wouldn't understand my concerns with the current situation but they're valid
the other option is that we could wait for the city to start pushing code enforcement and clean up the empty businesses along that area but we know they're too busy shoving their airport/streetcar agendas down people's unwanting throats.
