5.8.6 P/azas and Nodes
Dynamic pedestrian plazas and nodes are encouraged at each significant intersection in the retail
core. Successful p/azas are those that have good sun exposure, that are located on primary
pedestrian corridors, and that are properly proportioned to encourage seating, eating, gathering
and events. Successfu/ nodes are concentrations of activities, landmarks and spaces where
people want to congregate. Focal elements such as fountains, landscaping, and public art help to
give each node a unique identify and serve as visual reference points. A fundamental objective
of the master plan is to introduce these qualities in the Lionshead core.

The cenfral Lionshead public plaza (shown in Figure 5-10) was previously considered to
be at Sundial Plaza. However, the design of the Arrabelle incorporated an ice rink with
surrounding retail and restaurant shifted the central Lionshead public plaza to the south.
This allows for Sundial Plaza to be repurposed from a previously recommended infill
building with an ice rink to a public park Sundial P/aza serves as the only green space in
the center of Lionshead. The pedestrian connection between the First Chair Employee
Housing at the North Day Lot and the pedestrian mall through Sundia/ P/aza should be
snowmelted and rerouted for optimal views (see view corridor #4) and access. Sundial
Plaza presents an opportunity for a public park in the Lionshead Retai/ Core and will
provide a public recreationa/ amenity fo serve as a stand a/one attraction and as an
activity to compliment the retail and restaurant experience within Lionshead.
