The building has needed a grand entrance ever since it was restored. This will be a plus to the Lancaster Corridor.

I agree John. This is one of my favorite buildings in all of FW.

They are each quite nice and acceptable. First impression is that
A & B have trees which are too close to the building.
B has pavement which does not coordinate with the scheme of the building
My vote then is for C: trees are far away in distance from the building; the pavement is coordinated with the building; and the water features are within the median.

After we build this walkway, can we tear up the adjacent surface parking lots and replace them with grass? Let's have a grand park in front of the grand T&P terminal.

Another reason for making T&P the Gateway Terminal for Downtown Fort Worth -
The T&P Station and the Post Office on Lancaster. Taken yesterday morning:

Thank you for this beautiful capturing, Dave. This is just furthering the case that any tinkering (development) within this neighborhood should be taken with the greatest of care. Seeing that it is not broken, there is little need to fix it.

I saw the listing for both cases on the City's website.

Are the Plaza Passage concepts defunct, or could they still happen someday?

Real quick, has anyone else noticed the massive amount of water that comes into the terminal connected to the T&P and TRE when it rains? And the roof. It is eerily similar to what people saw in Florida when that condo building collapsed. It first started with a leak in the pool for a long time...then the pool collapsed and brought the whole building down. Are they going to address that?

Are you talking about the tunnel area to the platforms?

This doesn't surprise me with the way all of that infrastructure was constructed. I doubt that the Terminal Building is in danger of collapse, but this should be fixed.
