Whether by requiring setbacks or certain building designs, the port should ensure the waterfront is preserved, adequate green space is set aside, the development is open visually to the extent possible and that the public has access to a waterfront pedestrian corridor.
The channel district is hot in no small part because of the millions of dollars in tourist attractions, parking, trolley trains and other destination goodies taxpayers have invested there.
