It would be great to be able to purchase refreshments—including alcohol—that could be consumed within the park’s limits. This has been a huge success w/ some of the land managed by the Cleveland Metroparks (ex: Edgewater Beach).

Love that winter activation and usage have been taken into consideration with the proposed sledding hill. Additional year-round programming should be integral to future plans and designs, so this incredible public space can be enjoyed in new and unique ways throughout every season. Could the lawn, overlook and boardwalks areas be programmed year-round for holiday markets / festivals / live music / movie nights / other flexible events and activities? Is there a way to integrate any food or beverage stands to help further activate the space? (ex. shipping container food vendors lining W25th street at the top of the hill, or along the boardwalk).

Is there designated bike parking proposed for the development? This should be included for both the apartments and for general public to use along the street, if not already part of the development plans/vision.

Café or bakery offering fresh food options (open all day, not just for breakfast/lunch), a more casual/lower to mid priced restaurant that would complement Astoria across the street and add diverse food offerings to the area.

78th Street Studios, galleries throughout the neighborhood, LAND Studio, FRONT, and I’m sure there are many more that could be valuable.
