I would like to see at Lincoln Center: truly affordable living spaces, especially for our seniors and disabled

I would like to see an urgent care center, or our own emergency room,
maybe a small hospital and an assisted living facility, a post office
annex and a library annex, a good book store.

I would like to see the parking up a ramp to a mezzanine level, with natural daylight, rather than the below ground chambers of horror that is subterranean parking.

I would like the grocery store to be at ground level, where it should be,
so seniors and disabled don't have to schlep shopping carts in elevators.

I would like the small business owners adjacent to be given the opportunity to have first choice of locations at an amount affordable to them.

I'd like to see an open plaza with trees, grass flowers and places to sit, a water fountain for drinking, some kiosks for easier, more open communication and public restrooms.

I would like Lincoln Center to blend in more with Lincoln Place,
design-wise, maybe a mix of Venetian and 50's thru Now style.
