Harney Street Plaza - Upper Level

Place Gamers liked the access to the plaza from both the Civic Center cafeteria and the street. The area is clean and open with good views of surrounding buildings and provides shelter from north winds.

They felt the space is large, bleak and sterile, largely without color and visual identity. There is little in the plaza to attract people and it lacks shade.


Short Term

  • Erect an outside awning – for shade and cover.
  • Install moveable tables with umbrellas and chairs
    for chess, checkers, eating and talking.
  • Put in planters, trellises and window boxes
    for greenery.

    to garage; wide step staircase, or a winding
    walk.
