What I like and my thoughts of reinvestment.

From "Southwest Boulevard Improvements: Community Feedback"

Go to the project

I like the ideas of painting the electrical boxes, as well as the new fountain (Concept C is my favorite). However, I think filling the old Westside fountain with a planter/flower bed is not a sufficient redevelopment.

I am glad that portion is getting repaved, but Is the fountain beyond repair?

Back when it was flowing, there was far less grafitti/vandalism in that area. I can see a planter/flowers not being sufficiently maintained and becoming a target for more tagging and litter.

I like the effort of flowers more than nothing, but is that the best thing to do with this now defunct fountain?

Nathan, Unfortunately, the fountain is beyond repair and there are no plans to replace it. Also, the proposed statue is not a fountain. Thank you for your feedback, Nicolas Bosonetto City Engineer KC Public Works
    @Nicolas Bosonetto Thanks for the follow up! I misread, but that will be a nice statue as well. Excited to see what these changes bring.
