Even a remote possibility of a significant new building downtown is very welcome news-even though there are some important projects around town - it’s been a very quiet year when you talk downtown construction.

I want that! Our lakefront should be a place not only to visit every “once in a while” - it should be a place where people live, work, and meet on a daily basis.

Not as sunny and impressive as @Geowizical’s pics, but a couple more down at Scranton..

A few new SW pics from JonesDrones on IG-

And it’ll be interesting to see if the park actually promotes some new residential activity adjacent to it. A couple new high rise apartments/condos overlooking the park, with a view of downtown would be great.

That topic of the new courthouse sure has been quiet over the last year or so….

SW should've built (or arranged with a developer) to put a nice 20-25 story hotel there - but I guess they didn't want their HQ "blocked" from the square. But more than half of the tower would've still been unblocked even with such a hotel - and just imagine how much more life there would've been on the square. And, as others said, some months ago - there should've definitely been a plan to buildatop the parking garage. Really silly that they didn't plan for that. Wish there was something new and positive to talk about - but there isn't.

I miss the days when NEOTRANS used to bring good news.

The kids are right! The old sign was way classier.

And if that picture represents anybody’s idea of bad traffic - well, come on people..

Just when we started to believe- “ok this time it’s happening.. “.

Ambitious- but Hell yeah! And we can get it started with a couple mixed-use “Intro” or “Van Aiken” like mixed-use apartment/condo buildings.

Agreed. Many of the comments on this topic have seemed to focus on singular ideas that would be attractions - aquarium, Ferris wheel etc. But please let there be residential. What an opportunity to create a whole new beautiful neighborhood on the lakefront. The views looking either north or south would be stunning. Look how the new apartments on Scranton Peninsula are changing the aesthetic of the city - and many said that could never happen. Imagine an actual neighborhood on this parcel. And yes, there’s room for different kinds of uses including recreational. Hope the city’s leaders think big because everything starts with a vision.
