I think the constantly rearranged sculpture idea is cool, dont like the rest so much. They had a similar problem down in DC, with the Mall running out of space for memorials and musuems, producing a new masterplan to spread out such amenities throughout the city. I agree with that here, the Greenway isnt that big and should be given over to a few major institutions (visitor center, market, history museum, MHS garden) and open space. If you allow one memorial, other groups will want to follow. At least they have their own funding in place though.
Just my thoughts!
