To say people don't like going downtown is simply incorrect. Some may not but it's become far more popular than previously. So much so that it's nearing the point that something needs to be done for transportation. Parking on a night the Barons are playing is a nightmare and Uptown parking consistently sucks.

Yeah, when I went to RR Park a couple of weeks ago, I had to drive around for a good 20 minutes before finally parking 4 or 5 blocks away. I had never see the park that crowded, and I didn't see any special event going on.
I do wonder how busy Uptown is when there's not something going on at the BJCC. Bottle & Bone is really the only place I'd go absent something at the BJCC.

I've thought that someone could make a killing if they started a golf cart taxi service that was designed just to transport people a couple of blocks. For travel that would be a smidge far to walk and too close to take a cab or Uber.

Alahunter's opinion is coming from the viewpoint of a middle aged north Jefferson county resident. I wouldn't put much stock into what he thinks is the popular opinion of the city.
But I think this proposal is awesome. I wish UAB could get its on campus stadium, but this proposal is a better move for the city as a whole IMO.
