i passed 54 a long time ago (not sure whether that deserves a
or a
) so my opinion might not matter much but...
a pocket park here might be quite lovely here one day when it's not in the middle of nothing but it's not going to be a catalyst.
the quarters plan was supposed to be a catalyst (and before that the plan for jasper east village).
the armature was supposed to be a catalyst (and will hopefully have an impact now that it's actually open and providing access instead of blocking it).
if we want a park connection to be a catalyst, instead of focusing on kinistinaw, the armature - or at least the pedestrian portions of it - should be extended north and curved west through mary burley park in a manner that then connects chinatown north with chinatown south and also ties in with the multi-use trail from clareview as it enters downtown. done right that would provide river valley access and connections to that network (including the proposed river walk etc.).
