For those who haven't seen it, the area redevelopment plan (ARP) from 2010 can be found here (beware it might be a large download):

Of course, this report is only a concept and/or guidance for future possible development, but I found the concept to be pretty attractive and it's an area I could even see myself (a sad suburbanite) going to visit or even living in when I get older. In this report, the number one thing to address is the realignment of bow trail to open up the riverfront. Any plan that doesn't do this is (IMHO) not adequate.
