Activities <br /> _ <br /> include specialized commercial/ service, and increased A.;. ! f <br /> recreational opportunities. Additional residential units are ',1� <br /> necessary to support these businesses, especially when traffic v :� ' <br /> patterns further evolve away from direct access. 4, <br /> r <br /> For the downtown to succeed,Downtown needs to become <br /> '� �r <br /> more of a destination now, so that when access is vastly different, r,'46; ' <br /> the businesses have already built up customer base.
