Bring new life to dying Fulton Mall

Kudos to Fresno Mayor Ashley Swearengin for going ahead with her plan for Fulton Mall.

After working downtown for a few years, I came to appreciate the unique charm of the Fulton Mall and downtown area, but while many people would like it stay unchanged, changes obviously need to be made to continue improving downtown Fresno.

I hope opening Fulton Mall to traffic will make more people aware of the history and importance of our downtown area, while also bringing much needed new business to a dying area.
