After talking to the Boathouse District Foundation Director a few weeks ago I got the impression he was very impressed with that I was designing for the area. His major concern was my location and the feasibility of being able to build there with the railroad currently owning the property. He said it was do able and he liked it but it was at least a 20 year project just get obtain the property and move the rail lines. He proposed to me a secondary location for my project (a site he is looking to develop in the near future). It is currently the "Pull-a-Part" Salvage yard North of the River between the main N/S railroad tracks and the Chesapeake Boathouse. He said this new location is the missing piece between the boathouse district and the new Downtown Park system the City is building as part of MAPS 3. He also said they are looking at trying to introduce more commercial spaces in that area as well to help draw people into the boathouse district. He listed a restaurant and office space being two of the more critical spaces. He then went on and stated that from what he has seen on my blog thus far that this would be something he would be interested in submitting to the city of Oklahoma City. That posed somewhat of a problem for me in that do I keep working on my original site (which is quite a bit larger) or do I switch sites with the thinking that my Thesis project might help spark what type of facility will end up there. I went out after our meeting and walked down the north side of the river trails and looked around the site he proposed to see what all it possessed and if it would still work for what I was wanting to accomplish. I printed out the Google maps image and started sketching sight lines and such and what all would be needed to change with my original building in order to accommodate the new site. Everything seemed to work out I did not have to change my building or rearrange spaces on the new site (which was my main time concern) so I am pushing forward with the new site. Placing my facilities in this new location will also connect and give the Chesapeake Boathouse something interesting to look at since it will go right up to the west end of the trail directly across their little waterway connecting to Bricktown.
