While Boston's summers are short, they are glorious! Relax the permitting process for outdoor dining. It draws people out to spend money locally with a halo effect on other local businesses.

We need to continue to develop downtown to have better access to the harbor. Cafe's and bars on the harbor etc. lets take advantage of the fact that we are one of worlds great harbor cities and yet few people can access this great amenity.

Fort Point needs a grocery store - an actual grocery store. Given how many people have moved here recently, it would be great to have one within walking distance for residents.

Downtown Boston can be a bustling atmosphere during the work week - but have you ever visited it on the weekends? Most restaurants are closed, there's not many bars open & if you don't want to go to Fanuiel Hall - not much activity happening. The Financial District should have more pop-up activities. Farmers markets, spotlights on historical buildings, any event that highlights what Boston has to offer throughout the downtown area.
