Freeway Park is the green hinge between the Arch and the rest of the city —
literally sitting between the Arch building and First Hill, bridging the
freeway that otherwise cuts downtown from Capitol Hill. An activated Arch
changes the pedestrian calculus of the entire block: people walk through
Freeway Park to get somewhere, not nowhere.
FPA's mission to activate and steward Freeway Park is directly served by the
Arch going from dark to alive. This is the most immediate adjacent constituency
— a natural early endorser.
