People talk about street vendors, sidewalk cafes, and trolleys to enliven downtown.
How about some flashy, traffic directing police officers during rush hour?

What rush hour? The only time there is ever traffic downtown is for a baseball, football, or hockey game. Even that clears out in less than an hour.
It depends. There are times where traffic gets logjammed around the Old Court House for no apparent reason.
I know; I've waited sometimes up to an hour just to exit the Kiener West garage, this during a normal M-F.
With a policeman pointing your way, blowing a whistle, keeping traffic moving, problems would be minimal, and people'd feel a heightened sense of public safety.

Remember Zig Ziglar's motivational business seminar that has been held at the Scottrade Center on a weekday? And the ensuing traffic gridlock as a result? At least the cops learned their lesson the second time and were stationed in the intersections.
In Boston, the traffic cops wear white gloves so their hand motions can be easier seen.
Looks good too.
