Also these renders really show you how ugly the streetscape is here. It's just sidewalks, train tracks, a road, a bridge and a bunch of poles and wires. Now I guess a giant blank white podium. Would be cool if we could get some nice public art pieces installed under the bridge. Or heck just let people paint graffiti. Place some planters and a couple trash cans there. A water fountain and a couple benches for people using the trail. It needs some colour, life and objects to make it feel like a place a human being should be occupying rather than a transitory non-place.

I think we need more of this scattered throughout the city in general. Things that make people want to stop and linger for a moment instead of just getting through as fast as possible.

(I really would love more fountains. If the little fountain at Charles/Gaukel ends up getting scrapped, I vote we replace it with a big round fountain like the Bethesda in Central Park somewhere along the Gaukel Block)
