It's about time the city planners seriously thought about the traffic and pedestrians in West Olympia's major shopping area. Instead of ignoring this huge commercial development in the city, we need a focus on more reasonable traffic control, pedestrian safety, and rational development. It can easily become a lovely area as well as a destination shopping draw. Downtown would benefit from a traffic-free pedestrian zone in its core center to draw shoppers and tourists. All we'd need is a nearby free parking or low-cost parking area within walking distance. Downtown has great shops, but parking is a nightmare. I believe that's what sends so many drivers out to West Olympia instead.
