It's a darn shame that the area closest to the river in downtown Fargo is a city parking lot. Convert that area into an underground parking ramp and put a lush, beautiful public plaza/park in that spot. Think of quality on par with Central Park in New York.

You can have the road go under the park as well to connect up with the underground parking ramp and also allow a full street connection for 2nd Ave N to connect up with 2nd, 3rd and 4th St. N.

Also, once again, the SkyBridge concept could be tied into this allow citizens easy access to the park through a set of stairs/walkways, since I envision at least 1-2 SkyBridge Connections going through the park.

If you make 3rd St go under as well for the parking ramps underground, you could could easily connect the park up with the already existing park area between City Hall and the Civic Center. Of course, City Hall needs to be moved/rebuilt (as indicated on other threads).
