Permanent green space near Macy's downtown

Resident proposes using the funds to create a permanent, family-friendly green space in or around the Macy's site in Downtown Crossing, which feels unappealing now.

The resident's idea, as submitted

The idea

Green Space downtown by Macys. Downtown crossing has become such an un-enticing area. Take the $2m (or part of it) and create a permanent green space in front of or around the Macy’s. Perhaps even by the old mall area. More family friendly.
