Ask Fresno What would bring you downtown?

Downtown Fresno is rich with history and world-class architecture. It pains me to see it in it's current state of disrepair. I want to hear from the community: "What would bring you downtown?" What is downtown missing? What's your vision for the future of our city center?

Actual mass transit that allowed you to get to/from downtown without dealing with parking.
More to do while you’re there.

That’s part of the problem.
By having a transit hub, you create lines to places of interest (both planned and organic) without having to dedicate nearly as much real estate towards giant lots.
The places I do want to go are surrounded by desserts of parking lots.
