Compare the perimeter of Cornwallis Park as it was five years ago to what it will be five years from now. Half of it will have been replaced, and in every instance the replacement will be architecturally inferior to what was there before.
The disregard for aesthetics in this instance--regardless of whether it is in fact a pricier option--is really unfortunate. Shouldn't we be aiming to develop the edge of one of our grandest and most storied public spaces with a little bit more attention to detail?
