Somehow missed this thread the first time around... But no, I'm not concerned about the riverwalk design.
I saw a presentation by Michelle Woods and Carol Ross Barney last summer, and I've seen the drawings for the riverwalk as well. There is a vast attention paid to every little detail. I'm talking fully custom seating/benches, lighting, paving... even the tree pits in the "River Theater" were carefully planned to give the maximal space for roots and the best conditions for tree growth. This is not a cheesy setup with acorn lampposts and unilock pavers; it's a world class design.
