City planner: Converting the abandoned rail corridor into a pedestrian greenway will revitalize the adjacent commercial district. In three other cities, neighborhoods next to new greenways saw a surge in foot traffic and a sharp rise in retail sales within two years.
Which one of the following is an assumption on which the planner's argument depends?
- Conditions in this city's commercial district are not so different from those in the three other cities that the greenway would fail to produce a comparable effect.
- The pedestrian greenway will become the single most heavily used public space in the entire city within the first two years after it has been opened to the public.
- No city that has ever built a pedestrian greenway later experienced any decline in even one of its commercial districts at any point in the years that followed.
- The abandoned rail corridor could not realistically be put to some alternative use that would prove substantially more valuable than a pedestrian greenway would.
- Retail sales figures are the single only meaningful measure of whether a city's commercial district has genuinely been revitalized over a given period of time.
