1. Let's make the subway station even worse by cutting off more light and air.
|
With this redesign, the concourse can be air condition/heated now... And light never touch that area..Pigeons, yes..light no..

2. No one will use this thing.
|
Yes, like no one uses Rittenhouse Square.

Don't we have better things to fix right in the immediate area? As in... like maybe instead of wasting easily 5-10 MILLION on this we maybe dump it into helping that mess underneath where everyone actually uses.

This redesign will improve the area under the park as much as above, think how Suburban Square looks now. Because to have this park happen, they will have to destroy most of the subway concourse.

4. There isn't a busier intersection in Center City. They make shitty parks. Period.
|
Can't beat this one...Except that people already go through that are by the hundreds, so it's not like no one is ever there, they just don't stay there right now. You'll see how it goes when they have the farmers market later this year...

5. There's no residents. The residents who do live there are $$$$$ and I doubt would want to watch movies with the homeless.
6. We don't remove the homeless so all these renderings are innaccurate... look at Love Park. THere's an steady 5-10 panhandling at any given time.

You think the homeless are still going to be there when they redesign the parks(Love park is also getting makeover) Not likely, not if the Center City district has anything to say about tit.
7. I could think of 20 things mre worth it. Like 10 Million in bathrooms for Fairmount Park and Rittenhus Square.[/quote]
