I think outdoor seating would be possible on Woodward. The sidewalk is very wide in the area you mentioned, and with the M-1 rail making Woodward more narrow, it would take away a lot of the "big city" traffic noise/smell. I was just in Chicago and a lot of the restaurants on Rush St and State St have really nice outdoor seating. I really wish Wright and Co. would have taken a ground level spot, or had the patio seating like JBMcB mentioned. Overall, I would like to see a good number of restaurants and bars, with a new department store on the Hudson site and a few other big name stores, along with a couple local boutiques.
