Interesting. If this a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul then I'm for it though. The Riverwalk is a bigger magnet and attraction then say a half new dozen pocket parks would have been throughout downtown.
Not to say we don't still need more green space/pocket parks downtown but hopefully, funds by other means can eventually be gathered.
