Yesterday I went to the Tech Bloc event where they had a guest speaker, Robert Hammond, who spoke about the high line in New York City and had a lot of comments about the San Pedro Creek. One of the things he mentioned is that they were generally wary of big architectural moments for the high line because they feel that it is more of a tourist draw, while a focus on landscaping tends to attract locals to come more regularly. He also suggested having no permanent Art, but rather art that changes yearly. He said that way the art can continue to attract people, not have individual pieces define the creek, and there can be a wider variety. I thought they were interesting, relevant comments.
