Boardwalk at Bricktown / Dream Hotel

[shawnw]

Does an actual connection to the canal matter that much? I have to wonder if people would see the lagoon as part of the general water theme regardless. Plus, pushing the canal south past Reno would require going through that playground and the new flagpole location and then under the streetcar stop which seems like a big lift.

I like the proposed height.

Doesn't matter, but academically interesting to look at.

So I took a screenshot of the area on maps, then I very crudely cloned the end of the canal directly south, and then west. I then superimposed the site plan, and reduced the opacity, and the road they propose exactly matches up with where the canal would need to be, which I thought was interesting. IMO they could do this, and even have it go under the condos (imagine having basement level access to the canal level from your building?) if they wanted to. Again, I'm not necessarily a proponent of this, but it represents a bit of a potentially missed opportunity.
