 DP..  The "green" area is tiny. I think a little park adjacent to TC would be good. It would definitely draw in even more families.  [/quote]
The whole park argument doesn’t hold any water for me.  Why would it attract people when there are already 3 parks within a mile of RTC?  College Gardens Park, Woolley Gardens Parks, Welsh Park.[/quote]
Because you still have to walk a ways to get there. If it's right next to TC, people are more apt to go to the park then to TC to eat.  I wouldn't want to walk that far out to Welsh park only to come back to TC to eat. If people have to hop in a car to go to the park, they could just as easily drive some place else to eat.  It's the convenience of having the park literally within a block or two from TC.

I lived in a town where the town center had a sizeable park at the end of the town center.  Lots of people would go to the park then TC to eat and hang out. They could also get take out and go to the park and eat.  It was awesome. I miss that area.[/quote]

Agree.  This is why Rio is more appealing for most people versus RTC.  RTC does draw the people who work in the area, but other than that, moms aren’t bringing their strollers to run around RTC and then get coffee afterwards.  Older couples are not coming to RTC to walk around the (non-existent) lake and then pick up bananas at Target.

People LIKE green space.  RTC is a depressing, soulless, concrete monstrosity with PITA parking and aggressive parking enforcement personnel.

Nobody wants to sit around that pathetic artificial turf square when they can go to Rio to paddle boat and park for free.[/quote]
