Uptown Saint John is recommending Prince William Street become a pedestrian only Festival Street for special events only, warning it would be premature to close off the street to traffic permanently.
Prince William is viewed as holding the greatest potential because it's already the restaurant district with greenery, it has good connections to the Market Square Boardwalk along with Harbour Passage and rerouting traffic would not be that difficult.
Some questions still need to be answered which include what effect this might have on businesses.
