On Saturday, it was noted on the Friends of the Public Square (FOPS) Facebook page that the display boards--one a business directory, the other containing tiles created by schoolchildren in the 1980s--had been removed from Seventh Street Park, restoring the view into the park from Warren Street.

The responses will be reviewed and a design team chosen by a panel made up of FOPS board members, Mayor Kamal Johnson, and experts on park design. The design team selected will continue to
engage the community on desirable features of a rejuvenated square and prepare
a design reflecting that input as well as the park's location within a locally designated historic district. The resulting comprehensive design will be used in applying for grants from public and private sources to fund the work required to make the design a reality.
More orange cones, please!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness those two eyesores have finally been removed, especially the "business directory"/map which was embarrassing and mostly useless. I gave up years ago thinking they would ever disappear. B Huston
ReplyDeleteI am so excited by how effective FOPS has been. It's fantastic.
