MAPS park site is almost 100% acquired. There are still a few buildings left to be torn down, like the Salvation Army building and a few others around it. I've seen plans for the park but I do not believe that they are finalized (for either the north or south stretches).
No movement on the CC even though it has been moved to the front of M3 projects. I haven't even seen final renderings for this project.
Still waiting on the FHWA to finalize their study, post Friends for a Better Boulevard movement. They have been working on the west end, west of Western Avenue but everything east of there is still up in the air.
No one knows what will come of the Cox Convention Center after the new one is built. The favorite though would be for the site to be dozed down and returned to the original grid with Broadway continuing south to Reno Avenue and turning California into some kind of pedestrian corridor between the Intermodal Hub and the Myriad Botanical Gardens with the four new city blocks being sold off for private development.
