		<description><![CDATA[15,650 autos rolled through downtown daily in 1980.  Today, only 14,750 make the trip.  Factor-in Borough-wide population growth over the last 30 years, and the decline is even larger.  
Attracting people downtown is the obvious cure to declining downtown visitation.  The FMATS Policy Committee will decide this week whether or not public infrastructure will play a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s nice to have a crane downtown.  It means construction, creation, jobs – and a new bridge, new investment in downtown’s transportation infrastructure.  The Barnette Bridge will connect to a new Terminal Street intersection immediately to the north when that intersection is built next summer.  If completed according to plan, these new investments will serve [...]]]></description>
