I would envision an artisan farmers market plaza with fresh foods and street art, and I think it would help with the really gnarly energy that’s down there.

More bridges going over the river, more art, connect it to the Tannery Arts Center, and see businesses expand.

Turn it into a European-style piazza where all roads lead to this area—maintained as a State Park and a community gathering place bridging both sides of the city.

As the river flows, it would be lovely to see the arts flowing down with the river, with song and poetry and music and gondola-like vessels where we can break bread together.

I think it would be good to get more families downtown, so more toy stores and cafes where people can sit and hang out.
