I thik my overall point on this is that we have a semi-functional area that needs a litle TLC and some touching u to become useful.

We have a very expensive to maintain underground comlex going to waste.


WHa I woud do.

Light up the current Dilworth Plaza. Cut of the lowered sections (with air allowing gates) from the sub concourse and place cafes)

Trim Trees, light from underneath.
Rip up selected sections and replace with grass.

1/20th of the cost.



Second.

Do something similar to the depression along MSB with maybe covered vines...


Ya don't have to blow the bank to fix this.


You also don't need to gut everything in a city with 80% of it in disrepair (outside of CC)


To me this is a total case of ignoring major issues outside of Center City to gloss up a bullshit area that will see litle use due o it's mostly 9-5 commerical activity and no residential that would use it (as the res. is wealthy)
