Fair enough! I would also like to get rid of many downtown parking lots. My last few fantasy renderings have all focused on parking lots that are begging for development. This plan only relates to the redevelopment of the Forks, and not the whole of downtown. However I think that bringing people closer to the riverfront is an essential part of improving our core, and until we can make the forks the true focal point of our city, we are not finished. While I'm sure that this plan would draw opposition from those who like the quiet, natural setting of the Forks, I think we need offices, residential buildings, stores, and recreational opportunities in order to bring more life to the forks! Anayways, that's just my opinion, and this is only one possible solution.
