The city planner proposed a (change for the better)
of the old market design after noticing several (shared characteristics)
among successful town squares abroad. She argued that traffic should move more (in a way that maintains stable balance)
through the area, even during the seasonal (sudden large arrival)
of tourists. (In spite of that)
, some residents wanted vendors (restricted to a small area)
to one lane near the old (monument honoring victorious generals)
. Opponents called the proposal (not worthy of special notice)
, but engineers said the new walls would be (strengthening, making stronger)
the riverbank. A few radicals claimed the redesign secretly (undermines by attacking from within)
the neighborhood’s spirit.
