I found out what the city is doing to Court Square.

They are going to return it to its original form...a roundabout! Just as it was before urban renewal in 1970's.








Here's how Court Square looks today since the street around the fountian was bricked-in to make it a pedestrian walkway and park:















Much of the pedestrian park in the background will return to its original street form...





Traffic will no longer cut through Court Square like this...




I think that would be pretty cool to have a roundabout downtown again!
