City proposes green space for Fleet Block redevelopment

• The designs feature an amphitheater lawn, walking loop, winding garden and curbless shared streets.

Catch up quick: The city-owned block, spanning 8.75 acres, once housed the city's fleet vehicles for maintenance and repair. It became a memorial site and symbol of police brutality during the pandemic.

• Activists painted pink portraits of people killed by police — including George Floyd and Breonna Taylor — on vacant buildings near where Bernardo Palacios-Carbajal was fatally shot in 2020 after fleeing officers.
• The buildings were torn down last year to make way for long-planned redevelopment.

State of play: Mixed-income housing, retail and service-based businesses are also planned for the site.

What's next: The city is asking the public to weigh in on the concepts online through April 7.
