2010 Wishes:<\/p>\n

Daley Plaza is a great public place. It is in the center of everything, and it is used all the time for a variety of different events. <\/p>\n

Because it is so vital I think it is due for an extreme makeover. A makeover also seems fitting because Block37 is now live. The plaza looks dated to me, and I think we could stand to lose some things and add some things. <\/p>\n

The first thing that should go is the pigeon warmer\/eternal flame. I think we can find a better way to honor deceased vets. I would also like to see a new fountain. I think the current one is boring and the plaza could benefit from a more modern fountain, and the fountain should have a winter use. <\/p>\n

The plaza could also benefit from more green. Add more some trees and possibly some flower planters. More seating would be cool too. <\/p>\n

But if this ever happens most of the space should remain open for events and such. <\/p>\n

There is a thread in Citytalk and Urban Issues devoted to interesting urban plazas. Looking at it made me think Daley Plaza could be more interesting.

\nThe Plaza del Torico in Teruel, Spain was renovated with something even better than yellow bricks\u0097over 1230 color-changing LED lamps embedded in the pavement. It’s kind of like that fiber optic pavement you might have seen at an amusement park in the past, only on a larger scale. The whole system can be programmed to change colors and patterns in sequence.<\/p>\n
