The Downtown Plaza has been built at the site of downtown's original heart where it meets the "Bowtie" Area, linking historic buildings to the new multimodal Transit Center and in accordance with catalyst project recommendations of the draft Downtown Specific Plan (also prepared by FTS). While the Plaza hosts performances and community gatherings on weekends and holidays, it is mostly an everyday public space for relaxing and cooling off in the shade and interactive fountain, especially during the hot summer months. With the intersection roundabout and the Plaza's traffic reconfiguration, 6th Street shops are now fronted by curbside angled parking that can be converted to outdoor dining areas.
