OK, three pictures.

There are and will be many serene spots along the banks of the river that do not have the opportunity this spot has.

Although I didn't mention it above, the cypresses would stay in my idea, with buildings built around them. The street level trees could well be moved across the street into the new immediately adjacent gigantic civic park.

That stretch was created in 1968 for the world's fair. Many buildings were demolished to create it. The street level today is a waste. Those streets are called Commerce and Market for a reason. They should be re-commerced and re-marketed.
