Here is my dream park / city building idea:
1) City buys Market Square from its new owners (Europro) in exchange for development credits or waiver of property taxes on other properties (etc etc).
2) City demolishes Market Square and creates a new urban park anchoring the east end. This becomes the 'central park' of kitchener.
3) The new park is designed in such a way that it can be the host of all Oktoberfest activities with each German club erecting a tent to emulate the Munich Oktoberfest. I think a centralized Oktoberfest (serving good beer... but that is a different story) would really make a big difference. It would also push Oktoberfest patrons onto public transit with good LRT options available.
Thoughts?
