A "shared street" project that has transformed a 3-block stretch of Argyle St in Uptown into a European-style plaza boulevard where pedestrians, bicyclists and motor vehicles co-exist. The makeover of the Argyle area, home to a significant Asian population from various countries with many thriving Asian & Vietnamese owned businesses, is "perfect in the future development of Uptown." The redesign included new lighting, planters, trees and other improvements. It’s anticipated that the changes on Argyle will boost business. The project has marketing benefits too because it helps "give Argyle a more distinctive cultural brand and image." That identity has helped Argyle St become more of a destination for people with spending power and those looking for a cultural experience. The renovation also created space for outdoor cafes and provided flexibility to easily close the street to vehicles to host special events, such as Chinese New Year festivities and the Argyle Night Market held weekly in the summer drawing over 20,000 attendees.
