The two revitilization areas above (Columbus Commons and Scioto River/Bicentennial Park) play a very important role in the Vision Columbus 2015 project. Not only is there addition of green space to these areas but there is also new housing and shops that are part of the 2015 vision for downtown. The Scioto Mile and Columbus Commons area will be the initial end stop on the first phase of the street car line. Since the initial beginning of the line is near my thesis site I felt pulling a connection from beginning to end points on the line into my site would lead to interesting comparison of what my site needs on it. The aspect of the Scioto Mile/Columbus Commons areas as being destination point for people is a very important key concept that is needed on my site. The revitalization of these areas will defiantly make the area more lively and a destination point. This concept needs to be utilized in my site as well to carry the liveliness through downtown and down the streetcar line.
