It's proximity to The Village can help it evolve.
The Plaza District is on 16th and is two lanes throughout the neighborhood that it is located in. Britton goes from being a four lane road that is roughly 40 MPH on both sides of the Old Britton strip and is a direct shot to and from Broadway Extension. That area at during morning and afternoon rush hour is hectic, and then when you add a train to the mix, it becomes a nightmare. The storefronts that have been redone are still not drawing tenants, and the one that has a coffee sign outside has been stalled for almost 6 months now.
