The one on 51st Street would have built basically kind of, again, I guess I would call it a stitch.
That's what we called it during this entire time.
And I think it's important to be clear and careful about the terms that we use and not mislead the public.
How big was that, 51st Street?
Stitch?
In other words, less than 300 would be a stitch.
Typically, we're calling less than 300 feet a stitch, and anything that would be larger, we're going to call it a cap.
Again, I know that these are not scientifically defined terms, but I just want to be consistent with the language that we have used in the past to discuss this with the public.
If I remember correctly, and I'm sorry I couldn't quite find the old presentations, but I believe that 51st Street stitch was over two acres.
I think it was in the two and a half acre or so.
Do you remember?
Again, I'd have to go back and look at those documents.
And at the time, we decided as a council, and again, this is in my district, and I went back to my constituents to talk about this.
And essentially, what do y'all think about this was the question.
And there was almost universal feeling that
there was not really a lot of utility to be gained from putting a stitch at that particular location.
And then there was the Woodward Street crossing, which again, I remember that being a little under two acres and one point, probably about the size of this stitch.
What's the acreage of the proposed stitch here?
acres.
I mean, from my discussion with parks about various projects that they have, anything under two acres, they consider it a pocket park, which is kind of a smaller park.
