"When something happens in the area, you have to keep the human element in mind," Barman said in an implicit piece of advice to profes-

grow. Most people m San Diego, un- less they have a direct interest through a job or other area, tend to know only the areas they live and work in and and not know what else He said later that the students' work provided valuable field re- search that professionals will be able to draw on in coming years as they plan for eastern downtown advances. "As these plans develop," he told the class, "you may see some things that have a familiar ring, because we goes on in the city."

"They evoke a feeling of isolation and neglect," said Sharie Clendenen "Thj' street people seemed to ht in but they weren't that nol!ceable." Instead of a produce center, this team, which also included Tom Jameson and Russell Barman. pro- po ed that the district be linked to the planned waterfront convention center aero Harbor Dnve to the southwest They said that 4 1 <2 blocks . outh of L treet hould b tr r formed mto a park and include a hotel of 10 to 15 tones. "The park would e tablish the urban design for the area - with trees, sidewalks and lampposts - and giv more space as a walking area and place for people to meet," Jameson said. Condominiums and apartments would be located around F Street and Nmth Avenue, offices and park• ing m the center and retail shops with hou mg above along Sixth, lac- mg the Gaslamp Quarter. Barman aid that none of this would succeed unless public tran - portation i provided. He called for a ki-lift-type tramway from the con- vention center to the new district park. The location of the Gaslamp Quarter trolley hould be not on Fifth Avenue as ha been recom- mended offic1ally but along Sixth Av- on F-15 "Not all artists want to live in lofts," he said. "Some hate the idea - they're old, damp and dirty, have bad lighting and are located in bad neigh- borhoods. We tend to romanticize loft living." The artists already residing in the area work alone, don't want the pub- lic peermg in over their shoulders, have other jobs from which they make the bulk of their living and would move away if the area is up- graded because rents would inevitab- ly escalate. On the other band, he found sever- al gallery owners who welcomed the upgrading of the area "There's no foot traffic - that's the biggest problem," Dorman quot- ed one gallery owner as telling him. At Sixth and G, he found a gallery owner who complained about street people he believes scare away pro- See REDEVELOPMENT on F-20

The final set of ideas came from Carolyn Norman, one of only two na- tive San Diegans in the class. She related how her mother had taught her to ride the buses from Southeast San Diego to Horton Plaza in the early-1960s. "Downtown was my home," she recalled. "I went to the YWCA and the library and bought 15- When her family moved to Lemon Grove, bus transportation became • less convenient and downtown faded ~rom memory. She attended college '""' m Syracuse, N.Y., and upon her re- turn to San Diego 10 years ago she rarely thought about downtown. "I heard about the Gaslamp Quar- ter and asked what it was," she said. "I would see nice street lamps but to take the time to drive from Lemon Grove didn't attract me." It took the class project to reawak- en childhood memories. She called for a phased redevelop- ment of the 22 blocks, starting with "The Center," a 200-unit condo- and apartment-complex with both reha- bilitated and new buildings used to- gether. Norman also backed some com- mercial uses to make the area a full- time working-class neighborhood but favored the retention of the light-in- dustrial and produce market uses on the south end of the study area. Stepner congratulated the class at the conclusion of their presentations in a 5½-bour session last Saturday.
