Nothing animates a streetscape more economically efficiently than a restaurant patio. This is a pretty ideal site for one, and it confounds me that pinnacle decided to go with 'random corporate "art"'.Between the future fountain and the light poles, this new plaza is sure starting to seem cluttered. I feel like given the pedestrian volumes, a simpler plan with more clearway and some seating (benches/chairs) would've been welcome and would've looked more cohesive with the adjacent building. Right now, it's looking like tripping hazard central based on the photos.
Overall, this development is founded on great ideas, but upon inspecting the details (south elevation, podium arches, courtyard) it falls completely flat.
