Which is why I was adamant on the waterfront redevelopment advisory committee
to have a mandatory requirement of a minimum percentage of frontage on Cookman
as retail. All wanted pedestrians to be drawn along Cookman to betwixt Downtown
and the BW but the mandatory requirement was being fought. Eventually I was
able to make the committee see (thanks to Terry) that the only way to ensure
some retail on Cookman was to make it mandatory.
