I'd love to see that Mission Bible Thrift Store (off Scott Street) go and then expand Market Green so it connects with Market Lane.
A big part of it may simply be that the streetscape has not been updated. When you compare with North (West) of Frederick, that section was rebuilt not too long ago, and looks much newer and more modern.
But more greenspace is always good.
As an aside, there are some confusing things on the map. For some reason, Frederick Mall is shown in green on the map.
Also, it seems slightly misleading to show cemetaries as green. I mean, they are in some ways greenspace, but fairly different from a park. I'm also unclear if "Kaufman Park" which appears to be the school yard for CHCI is actually a park or not. Again, these are somewhat dubious claims, but it makes the area appear to have far more greenspace than it really does.
