My initial reaction to waterfront proposal

I'm liking the second proposal. The first one is good because it includes a convention center, which would be a good idea.

The remainder of the project just seems to enormous in scope for me, though.

I'm not crazy about the "green space" proposal because I think that the highest and best use of the land is not going to be a wide expanse of parkland. In other words, I envision the "green space" proposal as an office park-style setting. If you want an office park, go to Amherst.

I like the lifestyle / neighborhood / community plan. I'd like to see a picture.

I'd also like to know whether any of the plans include Skyway demolition and/or Metro Rail extension.
