Waterfront and Station Square Park Concepts
The Bellomo-Herbert & Associates presentation on March 24th will address multiple
design issues for the approximately 18-acre Waterfront Park and will propose a new
design concept for Station Square Park.
For clarification of several key design considerations, Bellomo will be presenting two
distinct design options. Encompassed in these two designs will be features that can be
selected as being MappropriateM for a vibrant waterfront park. If consensus is reached on
these elements, then Bellomo will proceed to finalize an overall Master Plan design for
the park.
Obviously, the plan will remain flexible, so that design adjustments can be made so as to
reflect the ultimate design of the Bluff redevelopment sites and the Marina. Key design
elements include:
1. Circulation - option of either having a roadway along the waterfront, or one
located closer to the foot of the bluff slope.
2. Concurrence on the need for a public parking structure tucked into the "dead
zone" lying in the southern portion of the site adjacent to the bridge.
3. Whether or not to include a Community Function building adjacent to the
waterfront. If the Harborview stays there might not be a need for one. If the
Harborview is redeveloped, it is possible that it might include replacement
meeting space.
4. The inclusion of a restaurant on the waterfront or on the proposed Marina, as a
tool to attract and retain visitors.

5. The closing of Cleveland Street at Osceola, in favor of a major pedestrian
pathway from the bluff to the waterfront.
6. An interactive fountain (Note the fountain in West Palm Beach/City Place attracts
thousands of people on a regular basis, and has been identified as the "key" to
attracting families.)
7. Approval of the "great Lawn" concept. This feature has the added benefit of
being a component of drainage for the park.
In addition, Bellomo will be presenting a final concept drawing for the redesign of Station
Square Park. This design will be an extension of the Streetscape design and should be
compatible with future infill redevelopment of the adjacent parking lot.
