                       Providing  open  space,  including both public and
                       private space, for residents, employees and visitors
                       to downtown Saint Paul is an important part of any
                       development,  including the  Central  Station  block.
                       Any new development should provide public spaces
                       to  activate  the  building and  block, and  enhance
                       pedestrian  activity related  to public transportation
                       and the skyway network. In addition, including open
                       space amenities such as decks, balconies or patios

                       on upper levels provides opportunities to capitalize
                       on  views to  the  Mississippi  River, the  Minnesota
                       State Capitol, downtown Saint Paul and street-level
