This is the "anti-pedestrian" wall I was referring to in my last post. At one time there were stairs to a sidewalk, but that was a long time ago. It's just so unimaginably amazing how urban design standards used to be so anti-pedestrian. At least they saved a tree when the cement wall was built.
The parking lot atop the cement wall is the site of the future "Waller Park Place Phase II" 660,000 sq. ft mixed use. I'm holding my breathe for that one to break ground.
It's been mentioned before, but there are a lot of wires/cables hanging from the ugly Fairmont wall that will be used for something yet to be determined.
