    The answer to this "problem" of what to do with the RenCen redevelopment, is expanding Hart Plaza by including ALL of Jefferson Avenue (from the convention center to what is currently I-375)... What has to be done is Jefferson Avenue has to be lowered and capped (like what will be done to I-75 in front of LCA Arena) making all of Jefferson subterranean putting it on the same level as the Detroit Windsor Tunnel Customs... In fact all of the Customs buildings, the Tunnel entry and exit and parking structures all need to be subterranean allowing for a HUGE AMOUNT OF NEW RIVERFRONT PARK SPACE AND ELIMINATING ALL OBSTACLES that currently prevent foot traffic from walking to and from the RenCen FROM ANY DIRECTION... And with Woodward not connecting to Jefferson anymore (because of the Spirit of Detroit Plaza) that stretch of Jefferson has become nothing more than an on/off ramp for the highway system anyways (M-10 Lodge, I-75, I-96, I-94 and the Detroit Windsor Tunnel entry/exit driveway).

    Maybe I'm imagining things, but I thought I heard something about reestablishing (this, the second) Chinatown? Hope so since this town needs as many facets of interest as possible. Too much dead space between things at this point in time, a very important point to consider BEFORE demolition.

    Part of what John Portman's design philosophy was to isolate his projects and to create a unique "town" inside away from the hustle and bustle. This was the concept for Peachtree Center in downtown Atlanta way back in the 1960's.
