You're missing the point of my comment to Henry R32, it had nothing to do with trains. He's comparing the potential of Buffalo Central Terminal to the success of Denver Union Stations different mixed use elements. The problem is, in the case of Denver, part of the reason the mixed use of the building is such a success is the fact that it's immediately adjacent to downtown. It's like Tower City in Cleveland. It's woven into the fabric of downtown. Buffalo Central Terminal is nowhere near downtown. It would be an outpost all on its own.But since you bring the transit aspect into it, the reason Denver Union Station is so transit intensive is because IT'S DOWNTOWN. Buffalo Central Terminal would be a useless place as a public transportation hub because all that would be there is Central Terminal. Even with making it a mall, apartments/offices, and Amtrak, it's one building, not a major city center. |
