Downtown outdoor spaces

[panamaniac]

The posts in another thread about the proposed plaza in front of the new Transit Hub have me wondering - should the City be looking to create a new plaza/green space in the Eastend?  If I held the magic development wand, I think I'd be looking at the block bounded by King, Cameron, Duke, and Madison.

I would go further east ... and turn Rockway into a huge park. The city could sell some small parts of it (e.g. portions by Courtland Ave) to a developer and use the proceeds to create a fantastic park.

Yes, I've long thought that should happen to Rockway.  I'd turn it into an arboretum.  And, like you, I'd sell the portion across Courtland to provide funding for the project.
