1. I'm curious to see the proposals, and if they are just planning to re-adapt the main building, or the entire complex of city blocks around the building that are owned by the state/former Charity and sitting abandoned. If it were up to me, I'd save the main Charity building and the tuberculosis hospital along Claiborne, and bulldoze and redevelop the rest of the land into office, retail, residential, greenspace - like a new South Market District.
2. The City was given the former VA campus, and except for the Art Deco nursing building, I'd bulldoze everything else, and add the land to the Charity proposal.
3. The City owns the underutilized block of land north of the Superdome on Poydras St. I'd bulldoze that and either build the new City Hall there, or add it to the Charity proposal, as well.
4. Then I would reconnect the street grid as much as possible from Poydras to Canal Street in these blocks.
EDIT: My first question has been answered:

The request for redevelopment ideas covered five properties. In addition to the 20-story, 999,750-square-foot Charity Hospital building at 1532 Tulane Ave., the request covered a 15,574-square-foot office building at 1508 Gravier St.; a 12,312-square-foot structure, last used as a maintenance shop, at 433-435 La Salle St.; the 15,665-square-foot former Delgado building, last used as a primary care facility, at 1545 Tulane Ave.; and the 22,651-square-foot Butterworth building, last used as office space for health care services, at 1541 Tulane.
