What's On Your Dream Esplanade? A Ferris Wheel? Leave It As Is?

Recently The Esplanade Association presented one possible vision of the Esplanade of the future, a vision which could include redesigning Storrow Drive, dismantling the Bowker overpass, and installing a ferris wheel reminiscent of the London Eye.  

In , the Esplanade Association's executive director, Sylvia Salas, explained that, "This is a vision. These are a group of ideas. This is not a proposal, this is not a plan."  

The Association also showed a video of their concepts, and, after the segment on the ferris wheel ended, the voiceover asked, "Anyone got a better idea?"

And while the Esplanade isn't in JP, it's a Boston treasure, one that all of us have visited. So, JP residents, we ask, "What belongs on your dream Esplanade?"

Would you put in a ferris wheel, or is a roller coaster more your style?  Would you prefer extensive landscaping with exotic plants, or turning the entire thing into an impenetrable pine forest?  

From Hubway stations that would rent personal hovercrafts to an art walk designed for children, anything goes in this community brainstorming session.  

Whether it's a practical plan or a pipe dream, let us know about it in the comments.
