Land next to Durham Museum

Post by Bob from Omaha »

There seems to be a lot of vacant land by the Durham and all the way to the Breakers Apartments. Any plans?

Its used from time to time. A couple weeks ago Union Pacific brought in their training cars and there sere several fire trucks down there doing training. Sometimes the UP Maintenance Team uses it for different things.

There was a rendering with the last downtown master plan, probably 15+ years ago that showed something going in there. I believe it was just a park.

The land by the Durham could be used for expansion or something. It looks like a waste of space

I don't see this happening for a number of reasons, but the DT master plan envisioned a park here. Pg 123-124 of the following:
