A proposal to reinvent Dealey Plaza, and even close Elm Street where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, is raising concerns from preservationists.
One year from now will mark 60 years since the assassination of President Kennedy, and that has the architecture critic for the Dallas Morning News arguing that it is time to redesign Dealey Plaza and the Triple Underpass."On the street are the X's where Oswald's bullets made impact," Preservation Dallas President Norman Alston said of the site.
"You can still come and experience this place the same as they did at that time, you can stand where Abraham Zapruder took his video," Alston added. "To have a site this much intact, is quite rare. A lot of places wish they could have that," he said."There was one school of thought that we tear down the schoolbook depository, we change all of this, and we eradicate every vestige of this event, as if it never happened," Alston said. "I can understand that. It wasn’t a pleasant thing. It was very difficult for the city, but cooler, and I think better thoughts came out of that.
The new vision presented by one architecture firm in Boston would, in part, introduce a memorial overlook linking Dealey Plaza and Martyr's Park, the little-known greenspace that cars zip by on the exit to I-30 or I-35.
