Though it does not seem to be on anybodies agenda, I am guessing it could be closed all year with little ramification. I think there are some strange traffic situations created by Main Street closing and mostly one way streets downtown.

I normally drive in on Houston and out on Commerce, leaving Main Street for walking, so no complaints here if it were to ever go 'pedestrian only'.
Main Street sees very little traffic and could easily be diverted to Houston, Throck, etc. Just keep the cross streets open at the intersections.

As you can see, there are two buildings here. The two story red brick building is the Land Title Block (1889) and the kitchen building is immediately to the north. The Kitchen appears to have been built between 1889 and 1893. Both buildings were designated Demolition Delay. In order to build the new Sundance project and demolish the Kitchen, a Certificate of Appropriateness was requested to demolish the smaller, less important building. Does this help?

Think it could turn out quite nice.

After visiting their website, one is given the impression from a sampling of their projects that they lean more in the direction of botanic landscaping. By selecting this firm to design the plaza, it would appear SSq envisions the public plaza to be more in the direction of Burnett Park rather than designing a large paved piazza-style pedestrian oriented confluence that would be unimpeded by trees, pools and gardens.

First off, I will start with a photograph.
As you can see, there are two buildings here. The two story red brick building is the Land Title Block (1889) and the kitchen building is immediately to the north. The Kitchen appears to have been built between 1889 and 1893. Both buildings were designated Demolition Delay.

Didn't see this until now. That makes perfect sense. I guess I never thought of it that way, haha.

I’ve never been to Portland so I can’t tell what the public plaza really looks like from the photo gallery on their website. Based on the photos, however, I wasn’t impressed. I can’t tell where the plaza begins and the courthouse ends. The last photo is a wide shot of a parking lot with some type of structure on it surrounded by people. If this is the plaza, we’ve already got one…it’s Sundance Square, the parking lot and building with the painted western mural. And, of course, our plaza won’t be built around a courthouse. Somebody needs to enlighten me, perhaps, but I hope the SS architect doesn’t use Portland Square as a model.[The recent article states that planning for the square is being done with Portland's Pioneer Square in mind as a model. Here is a link to the Portland square's website. Check out the photo gallery.

I looked through the photo gallery. Here's waht I noticed:
1. Taking a very normal photograph and turning your camera 15 degrees clockwise doesn't make it artistic.
2. Doing it 70% of the time definitely deosn't make it artistic.
3. I generally like the plaza. Needs more green.
4. Were there really pioneers in Portland? I just figured commuters from San Fran just stopped one day and decided to open their own city.
5. They have light rail service to the square.

The entire downtown is so vividly green they probably did it to make a contrast.
That entire area is flooded with transit and bike lanes and massive food truck parks. It's incredible.
