8th & Columbia Building REVISED public space

IMG_0540

Daniels is proposing (August 2017) a redesign of the public space as it was approved back in 2013.  Basil managed to obtain the whole spiral-bound book; I have photographed a few key pages.  There is a cafe now where the exercise room used to be walled off from the outside.  The public entrance is seen at the left; there is also an entry from the highrise lobby.  And the descent from the upper level is now more gradual, with an additional entry off the sidewalk midlevel.  Lots more park benches (in orange).

Done by 2020, supposedly.

    Thanks, Bill. Any info on the kind of cafe? I assume open to the public?

    The whole area looks open to the public. What about security in the area at night? Diane
