Every year, Mardi Gras in Pioneer Square has become less and less of an event. |
I think everyone was surprised at the lack of crowds. There was no one in the neighborhood. |
It looked quite disturbing and fairly shocking. But I strongly believe that when we come out the other side, we are going to be pleased with our improved park. |
It's not just an issue of the trees. The removal of the trees is part of the overall plan to reinvigorate the park. |
We want Occidental Park to be a place where more people of all incomes gather, and where criminal behaviors are displaced by positive behaviors. |
