Didn't want to say anything about the design until it had gone public, but here are two of the final renderings for the two new police facilities;

This design for the headquarters was what I was eluding to when I mentioned using it as a base for other new government buildings in the downtown area. Instead of occupying each corner with a facility, a larger, more attractive and modern building could be build in place of the current police station and house utilities, IT, Mayor/Council (and Chambers), HR, and the Municipal Courts and Clerk. Freeing up the NE and SW corners for parking garages (of matching architecture) to alleviate parking issues especially when there are events held downtown. If one parking structure would suffice, a new Downtown Community Center could be built on one of the corners essentially creating a "City Center" at 1st and Littler. Could even approach the issue in a MAPS style to reenergize downtown simultaneously while the I-35 Corridor is created.
