Help Design the Haymarket Plaza
Right between the new Haymarket Landing mixed use development and the forthcoming Confluence Performing Arts Center is virtual blank canvas known as Haymarket Plaza. This plaza – most recently a municipal parking lot and now a construction staging area – will soon become a public area just across the water from Phoenix Park.
If you’re interested in helping the city refine its ideas for how the plaza can best be used, plan on attending an open house on Thursday, April 21, from 5-7pm in the North Conference Room of City Hall, 203 S. Farwell St.
According to the city, “The goal of the Open House is to refine the concepts that were favored at the previous placemaking exercise into a set of core concepts that can be brought forward for a final preferred design in upcoming months.” Prior discussions have identified numerous ideas for the plaza, including fire pits, interactive water features, places to sit and linger, and other features that would make the space a hub for pedestrians and bicyclists.
