Hopefully we will in the next 4 to 10 years have a highrise residential building boom like Austin has had. That would be awesome! If one goes up, then more will come!
So, what could we do with MAPS 4. MAPS4 should build on MAPS 1 and MAPS 3. It could add to the canal, street cars lines, and be primarily Light Rail focused.
It could also incorporate more inner city elements like an aquarium and museum of energy (focusing on the states history of oil, coal, hydroelectric, natural gas, wind, and solar power).
Possibly a botanical garden (probably not downtown, but somewhere with topography).
So, those are a few ideas besides a stadium, that would continue the MAPS success.
