I didn't go to the open house meetings but have been following this as close as possible, including talking to some GKFF people.  Does anyone know if they plan on keeping the neighborhood access to the park on 30th street?  If you live in that neighborhood (I don't), you can walk / ride down 30th Street and it dumps you right into the parking lot north of 31st street by the pedestrian bridge.  Can't really tell from the pictures.

I don't know, but I do know that in meetings there were people from the neighborhood asking for their to be LESS connections to the park from their neighborhood.

Is this where you are talking about?

I can understand why the neighborhood would want LESS connections to the park.

according to this article, it looks like they are waiting to see if infrastructure is going to be included in a new fix our streets package.  even if it isn't included, the article says construction will begin in 2014.

There is an ancient Celtic axiom that says 'Good people drink good beer.' Which is true, then as now. Just look around you in any public barroom and you will quickly see: bad people drink bad beer. Think about it. - Hunter S. Thompson

The latest design shows that the apartment complex on the south end of the park (Crow Creek apartments?) won't be demolished... is this a recent change or old news?

Will the plans be on display tonight only? Or will TCC still have them for public viewing for awhile? I can't make it tonight, but I'd love to walk down to TCC during lunch sometime this week to view it all if I can.

Does anyone know what is going to happen to that 70's era concrete plaza (I think it's the Zink dam?) near 31st?

It was going to be demolished to make room for the water park at that location. By raising the height of the low water dam it was probably going to be submerged anyway. Now? Kirby?

One complex is coming down as part of Phase 2 which includes the Children's Museum. The other complex is now outside of the plan, so I'm guessing it will be commercial development at some point.

TCC is officially closed right now, so it likely is not going to be open to the public. You will be able to see it on the website in the next day or so if it's handled like past reveals. I went and the crowds were out the door.

They are not going to have the display after tonight.  They will be having it on display at a location to be announced for some time, then they will be moving it around town to give more people a chance to see it.  Keep an eye on their website for locations.
