Uptown Public Realm Strategy

[darts]

Does it really need more presence? The majority of the operations at any city hall is office work. Dressing it up doesn't change it.

The building should also serve as a civic building, I'm not sure that it does in Waterloo, the parking lot may serve that purpose more at this point, but in Kitchener, the building itself serves as a civic building, hosting events, protests, art, whatever the need is.

I don't recall Waterloo having a similar building.  Even the cycling committee meets elsewhere.

Don't the pools and ice rinks and libraries have rooms for this? Wouldn't this be better too since it actually gives it the oppurtunity to move it around the city giving everyone access. Protests are usually on sidewalks anyways so people can see it, so that wouldn't change, they can protest at the building or the public square.
