[Winona Online Democracy]
I've only lived here for eight years and only vaguely
remember seeing Winona's mall during a brief visit in the 80's. Downtown
development since I've been here seems to be lacking the type of pedestrian
amenities and aesthetic enhancements that were elements in downtown mall
projects and I wonder how long it will be until Winona is willing to try other
approaches to improving downtown's look and feel.
Back in the 70's I lived in Boulder, Colorado when that city
created its downtown pedestrian mall and it has been a fabulous success. But
Boulder is probably such a unique situation that it has little relevance to
most other towns.

The
pedestrian mall on Third Street was considered "state-of-the-art" when it was
built, and many cities did similar things...... In the 30 to 40 years
since these things were done, almost all of them around the country have been
taken out, just like Winona's.
