' JORM MICR+LAB i. crDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES 111CROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES MOINES, IOWA F Sept. 5, 1978 r I am unable to attend the public hearing on the Gov, t Robert Lucas Square, but I would appreciate it if the following remarks could be made a part of the record of the hearing. I I Iowa City has been a very pleasant place for our family. ; We have appreciated its attractiveness, its efficient city services, its liveliness, and its friendliness. In view of these things, I was disappointed in the design of ;the proposed Robert Lucas Square. As one o£ the Focal points of the, city, I felt the square should somehow express the quality of life we have enjoyed here. 'Instead, I saa a set of concrete steps, reminiscent of the app reaoches to'' an Aztec pyramid, topped by three pipes, which t' look like nothing more than unfinished, unenclosed plumbing. I realize that a,town our size may not have the resources to undertake something stunning, awe-inspiring or monumental. But 'i couldn't we have a little gracefulness ? Something that blends ' the old and new of Iowa City a.little better ?:Something that expresses a little more of the flavor of this particular community ? J,11 L { .I I Something that won't make it look like urban renewal is still in : progress 20 years 'from now? Frankly, though falling water is both beautiful and restful, I feel the square would be both more attractive and more appropriate the steps and pipes and with only the trees and benches. without f r Sincerely yours, Jerry Parks 1114 E.
