Appropriately held below the social steps and public patio: in the parking lot. That's finished - and full. And most important! And will remain full: what with the Co-op soon opening close by with almost 100 fewer parking spaces than initially required - a gift from the City. So the NDCC and somebody at City Hall now need parking elsewhere bigtime!
And never mind what we were only vaguely (thus cleverly) led to believe we'd be getting in that stretch: benches and trees. It used to look/feel better - more Nelson - before it became new and improved. "They" actually said new and improved!
Those going at the appointed time won't see this block in every-day mode - because there surely won't be any parking then, as there won't be on only special occasions in the future.
To get an idea of the whole thing on an average day:
From Baker/Hall you will not get much of a view of social steps and public patio because of parked cars forming a sort-of wagon-circle. What's going on behind this is monochromatic beige/sand: also not inviting distinction/differentiation from farther away - cars/no cars.
So it is questionable that tourists will be drawn to steps/patio. But if they should be and sit there - in the heat and does it ever get hot! - their gaze may languidly roam over: cars parking/parked - perpendicular - on the left and cars parking/parked - perpendicular - on the right. As far as. With a whiff of exhaust delightfully lingering!
Aaah... Kootenays!
This being Phase 1 of Stores to Shores: we should be concerned with what's next. We still don't know!
