It's high time to consider seriously  compatible solutions that accommodate BOTH city and county offices and a robust downtown farmer’s market since all 3 needs now converge. Here are two suggestions: 1) When conditions change dramatically, as these have, haste often makes waste. Listen to the Commissioners’ expressed desire to “revisit interplay of the three proposed projects.” And be willing to write off defective partial plans that no longer serve the community interest, however enamored Mayor Piercy may be of them. 2) Consider the intriguing possibility of combining City and County offices in a single, jointly owned, distinguished building - OK so it takes 10 floors (these need not be prohibitively expensive - look at the new Hub on E. Broadway). Such a structure could well be built in 5-10 years on the vacant City Hall block, leaving ample space for the Market and an enlarged Park to replace the decrepit Court House.
