"Post Office Square"

Michelle Ollie and Bayle Drubel have sketched on the center-of-town park idea with some additions:
  • Change circulation to one-way around the post office building (as also suggested by a commenter).
  • Add lights in the park along the railroad.
  • Add a bike rack and bus station stop in place of the info kiosk.
  • Consider a cobblestone-like pavement around the post office.
  • Add a sculptural element in the park that perhaps moves in the wind.
  • Consider naming the area. They suggest "Post Office Square". Other name ideas? "Coolidge Square?" "Central Park?" I like the idea of naming the places in downtown and using that identity to form recognizable areas.
