There has been regular emphasis on the negative aspects of this project but not much discussion on how it can be utilized in a positive way by various groups and by hosting community events.
I would like to comment on the design elements of the downtown plaza that city staff is recommending be eliminated to reduce the additional costs.
The suggested elements being removed appear to either impact the original design concept too much or do not provide savings that justify their removal. Protective barriers should not be removed, especially the metal guide rail that will protect and prevent damage to an Indigenous screen and wood fence from an adjacent private parking lot.
A greater focus from the city on gaining additional sponsorship is more effective to reduce costs and encourage community involvement in completing the plaza.
