If a City like Mobile wants tourists out spending Money, they need to make the City people friendly and attractive to tourism. Above is a photo of pedestrian friendly Boston where pedestrians seem to have the right of way. Where there is plenty of shopping opportunities. Where some roads are for pedestrians only.
Unlike Mobile that does not even have a pedestrian crosswalk to get across the busy road near their main bus terminal...
And no crosswalk at busy Dauphin Street to get across Water Street to visit the Mobile Convention Center...
There has been DECADES piss poor planning in Mobile to make use of what little downtown area there is. Mobile is downright Ugly to people on bicycles and people on foot. That is one Big reason why many Mobile venues like the Convention Center lose money every year. Not much in Downtown Mobile for people to do unless you like drinking booze.
