Funny how the plan contains a list of improvements to be implemented in 2010. These dates must be a joke when they are written.

It seems pretty reasonable though. Start with a small budget and simple fixes that provide lots of value. More trees, entrance plazas, seating areas, and improved pathways would look much nicer and would break up the giant empty space. In the future hopefully there will be more discussion about amenities.

I agree that it's crazy how the city ended up with acres and acres of baseball diamonds. My guess is that was a kind of compromise between the Friends of the Abstract, Politically-charged Wasteland and the many people who wanted something there.
