Yes, good riddance. And it would greatly help in boosting the use of Rhone park as well as hopefully activating some of the redundant open space in nearby University Park. Rhone isn't a terribly attractive place. The trees are small. They will take years to offer real shade and the "historic" design of the fencing is cartoony and silly looking. The reconfiguring of the streetscape here wasted a great opportunity to keep a mid-century gas station that could have been recycled into a restaurant, cafe, or some kind of retail. Probably the station would have been saved had it been a few decades older but there is so little respect for first generation modernism in this area it's preservation was likely never considered.
