This is why I end up on University St all the time and almost never go to Stanford Shopping Center even though it's a bit closer, pleasant and I like a few of the restaurants/cafes.

What I would really like is for a few blocks of University to become pedestrian-only with lots of outdoor seating for its cafes and restaurants. (The same goes for other downtown areas in the South Bay, like Santa Cruz in Menlo Park.) It's amazing how little outdoor seating we have in the Bay Area despite the amazing weather.

Something like Forest or Hamilton Ave becoming pedestrian only would be great.

That being said, University Ave becoming increasingly "corporate blasé" in its selection of restaurants (basically great for a business meeting and little else) is sad to see.
