What are the plans for that riverfront at the sound end of the park? Leave it as is, or spruce it up a bit?

At some point I thought they had a development proposed there. In one of the renderings I saw a boathouse with a restaurant.

The city failed to come to an agreement with them. They'll sell the property at some later point for lots of money after the park makes the land value go up, or maybe use it for privately owned surface parking. Or both, probably.

oh thanks for the update guys. I was hoping my eyes were correctly not seeing Cusak in the pics but oh well.

[Swake]

the areas around the park look more like a park.

It is bad news. Not sure what the former owner was trying to do. Automotive batteries, you can resell them at the recycling plant down the street.

They found a large pit of battery casings in the lower park. The removal and remediation is estimated to be over $400,000, so they're figuring out how to get more funds or reallocate budgets from the upper park.

I'm sure they have money left over in the MAPS3 Contingency Fund?

Is there any recourse against the previous owner, or is it a matter of "not enough evidence" as to who did it?

Thank you.

In residential sales you have up to 2 years (pretty sure) to file a lawsuit against a previous owner if something like this came up.

even then, wouldn't the buyer have to demonstrate that the seller not only knew about the environmental issues but misled the buyer into thinking that there weren't any?

I would guess all that property in the area was contaminated at some time and all the purchase agreements had a brownfield waiver for the seller.

Here are some on the ground photos from the bridge looking south from 9/09.

What is this structure being built in the lower park? Not seeing it on the original plans, though I know they've been updated and not sure if post #1 was similarly updated.




Also, The Perch seems to be popular...

This photo really is an image that should be a point of pride for us all--just really modern and beautiful.

From within the park, all the LED lighting on the convention center, 4th Street Experience, Omni and now Paycom Center really looks amazing.

Last night, Scissortail Park was completely packed. This park has turned out to be more popular than I think anyone imagined, and most all the property around it is still undeveloped.
