areas Different public realm elements (i.e., plazas, art, seating, green infrastructure) More green space, parks, and informal gathering spaces are needed Placemaking turned an industrial area into what it is today Character could have better reflected the culture of Boulder Improved mobility network and innovative designs (i.e., new shared street) Improvements can be made to create a better
