What see happened to the linear park idea? I can't find info on it by I recall an idea being floated to have a park installed along the north side of Hwy 97 connecting all the various empty spaces along that section. Very few buildings are along there and it would connect tourist points of interest together like the the old bridge anchor, downtown park, Abbott St pathway and future Ethel St pathway.

The Green belt along Harvey idea was merely conceptual as a result of the Downtown Plan charrette. It was shot down by city staff as being too expensive and was not included in the final Downtown Plan.
As for 24, in the recent articles about the Aquilini's trying to buy Sopa Square, their spokesman said it was on hiatus, not necessarily dead.
