My fear is that if the space takes on the negative aspects of Liberty Plaza, it would adversely impact the downtown library. It is already too easy for people to make the choice of driving up to one of the “suburban” branch libraries and avoiding downtown.

Please visit our website [link] in order to learn more about our group and the evolving ideas for a park on the “Library Lot.” We hope to gather more input and ideas so that the resulting public space is a reflection of what the community wants and it is a place that draws people to downtown Ann Arbor.
