There is no doubt that the lack of the normal downtown office workforce hammered downtown’s vitality. I was surprised at the ghost town feel even with all the new apartment developments. Those residents seem to have come back, but it’s still not the same without downtown workers. However, let’s be honest, driving downtown for a normal workday is currently a nightmare due to road construction. I can only imagine how horrible traffic would be if all those office workers were back. The streets that feed downtown are restricted with construction blocking lanes, but work rarely seen taking place. If a business has productivity and content employees working remotely, I don’t know I’d upset that apple cart by requiring them to sit in traffic and, in some cases, pay for parking. The long term health of downtown needs office workers. Businesses need to see the culture benefits of being in the office so they tolerate the current pain of construction.
