I wonder how this design came about. It's great that Fidelity is contributing to the public sphere, as not many local corporations seem to do that, so it's a shame that they, or the people they hire, tend to go astray. Eastport Park is another example. There it's the opposite problem. Not enough tree cover, resulting in the butt-burning metal benches with the warning signs not to sit on them. Fidelity did try to correct that problem, but the artist who conceived the place did so more as a monument to his ego than as a place for people to enjoy and threatened to sue if it was altered. It's ironic that if the parks were switched they'd make more positive contributions.
