I fear enclosing this Civic Park space too much is going to keep people off of Downtown streets and keep them enclosed in this general area. The renderings make it seem disjointed from the rest of downtown as if almost to serve as an escape from downtown. Again, I'm thankful for the new development and investment but I hope this space and downtown feel cohesive.

WOW on your comment.
In the renderings, you can see expansive walkways connecting the downtown streets to Civic Park. I'm sure the planners thought of your concern.
This Hemisfair development is exactly what this part of downtown needed!
