Core to Shore needs two things. A new name and an urban design code similar to Paris or some other big urban city to use as a model to develop a true mixed-use urban district. These codes need not be overlooked nor should any variances be issued. This is the time for the city to put their foot down and be strict.

No set backs. Very few curb cuts. No dedicated turn lanes. Narrow streets. Low speed limits. Have commercial corridors with residential neighborhoods with row houses behind them. Establish a height limit to 12 stories. Things like that.
