Independence Point: Park Or Lot?

Item: Independence Point: Park or parking lot? Suggestion by Mayors’ Institute on City Design reopens debate /Tom Hasslinger, Coeur d’Alene Press

More Info: One possibility is Independence Point, something that’s been on the city radar for years as a possible do-over, although some people have already suggested the city leave it the way it is. “I don’t see the need to change,” said Mary Smith. “It’s such a convenient place for families who just want to get to the beach, for handicapped people and the people who are going to be there for a short time or who are catching the boat for a cruise or the airplane. I’d hate to see it inconvenient for beauty.”

Question: If you were in charge of a do-over of the Coeur d’Alene waterfront, what would you change first?
