I just don't see that making up for how disjointed it is from the downtown street grid. It will always be a nice, secluded park area, perhaps even suburban in design and inspiration. But as for mixed-use and residential development, or other attempts to bring more activity to this area, I just think non sequitur.

And that is a shame considering the caliber of architectural and athletic facilities, and that for the time being, this is our best riverfront.
