A rendering of the redesign of SW 2nd Street into a permanent “Streatery” for pedestrian use in Downtown Gainesville.
City of GainesvilleThe city of Gainesville is seeking input on renaming the SW First Avenue pedestrian-only space and the voting ends on Friday, June 27.
The streatery on SW First Avenue in downtown Gainesville is becoming a permanent pedestrian-only space. Click here to vote on naming.
Here are the name options:
- Charles Bradley Blvd.
- GNV Commons
- Union & Pleasant Promenade
- The Stroll on First
- The Streatery
- Market Walk
- Garden Street Market
- Union & Pleasant Place
anyone else think all those options are dumb?
Those Name Options Stink! My Personal Choice Would Be “Champagne Walk” To Name The Pedestrian Only Area/ SW 1st Avenue. Those Name Choices Are Like Dead Leaves On A Tree.
Most of those are actually open business at nite. Can’t say otherwise..I go almost every week. Plus we can put safety barriers prom goofy drivers. We learned in Iraq many ways to secure even walking area.
How about “Avenue of Shuttered Businesses”
How about “Should have been parking avenue”? or “We don’t listen to citizens or businesses before we make decisions”? Those other names are terrible.
I agree that these choices leave a lot to be desired, but snarkiness aside, you want something that rolls off the tongue and is short/sweet. I’d say “The Streatery” or “Market Walk” are the only two viable options.
Friend 1: “Where do you want to go?”
Friend 2: “Let’s go to Streatery.” or “Meet me at Market Walk.”
Homeless Heaven
Homeless Haven
or simply The Wokeville Walk
Seriously we have to ask “who benefits” in increased property values, assuming this project is a success? A list of the property owners along this street would be most telling. What political connections exist?
It needs to be called :
Bo Diddley Plaza
or
Gator Alley
make it happen
I go every nite. There are tons of pedestrians..plus they can barrier to keep it safe from vehicles like we did on Iraq.
Are you thinking this is mainly a day thing? Even during the day the safety of no cars outweigh the human traffic.
