The vision for Durango looks great. If I'm reading it right they want to line it with residential, effectively extending the Victoria Commons area? Lastly, whether by design or just coincidentally, the ToA has been made much more central to the rest of the park, rather than sitting on the periphery with nothing much going on around it. Mixed-use areas need strong anchors, and the fact that they used an existing and universally recognized anchor speaks to the amount of thought that went into the plan.

They should build a tram, just like the old swiss sky ride that ran through hemisphere back in 1968.
