The riverfront is another potential activity generator— it is the main outdoor
<br /> attraction for the downtown area. Renovations of West Bridge Park to create a
<br /> place for programmed community events will add to its presence in downtown,
<br /> ill
<br /> but it needs to be more strongly related to the business activity of downtown.
<br /> Longer term redevelopment of properties facing the park will be important; the
<br /> plan envisions first floor retail and entertainment functions bordering the park
<br /> on its south and east side, with second (and third) story office, lodging or resi- _
<br /> dential uses creating a strong edge to the park. The edge of the park along
<br /> Pine Street is critical; it allows views from the road at a major downtown entry
<br /> into the park and directly to new retail and entertainment uses. This edge
<br /> might be enhanced, but it should not be cut off.

<br /> Bridge Park provides a grand entrance to downtown. Enhancements should build on Its relaUonship to the river and downtown,and Its role as dan important outdoor gathering space.
<br /> While West Bridge Park will evolve into a more formal setting for planned
<br /> events, East Bridge Park should continue to be developed with more passive
<br /> activities. The volunteer planting efforts and wide open lawn areas will create
<br /> a quiet complement to West Bridge Park and the rest of downtown. These
<br /> park spaces should be connected under the Highway 25 bridge in a more ele-
<br /> gant fashion. This might be a long term project (possibly coordinated with
<br /> ipimprovements made to the bridge in the long term), but the pathway under the _r,
<br /> bridge should not be neglected. Equally important will be the creation of con-
