Dumbo & Main Street Updates

[nevol]

maybe what they should have done is just go ahead and make an even bigger change to help the flow of traffic in that area and make a bigger change to parade route.

Remove the IASW mall area and relocate it further east so that it cradles that monorail track and old motorboat load area.
then reroute the Parade route. This would have opened up the western edge of the IASW/ Fantasyland theater area.
like this

pink new parade route and yellow new parade viewing area

That would create really warm conditions / urban heat island effect and would take out water and mature landscaping.

I guess I like it? It's not bad, just not used to it yet, I suppose. Curious to see how it'll end up looking down the middle of Main Street the most.

I’m here today and I think it looks pretty slick. I think it will look better once the rest of Main Street is done as well.

At some point, Disney has to give up on that area being nicely landscaped and realize that it's incredibly underutilized space in a park very short on it.

At least DL still has sidewalks you can trip on. At TMK, they're all like flattened?

Android in this case, but yes.

TMK still has curbs along most of Main Street. Only the corners have been flattened.

I found it to be reverse disorienting because you expect to drop off the curb and it's just flat.

finally!

Turning it giant asphalt zone in the meantime is what they're already doing. The space could be better utilized in the future than that.

Not bad, the Main Street project is only a week behind the construction schedule. If the weather holds, they could be finished on time before Easter Break.

I like the way the bricks look on the street. They just look a little weird next to the bricks on the hub sidewalk which have a different pattern, color and texture.

What “on stage” landscaping are we losing with IASW changes?

The difference between the brickwork gives it more of that thrown together DL look that makes it so charming.

Yes charming, kind of like how the real wood in my dining room meets the pergo in the family room.

It doesn't make any sense. That's why I trust it.
