Rapid City Main Street Square in pictures
Suzette Cuny from Destination Rapid City sent me five architectural drawings of the Main Street Market. The project is proposed for the corner of Sixth and Main Streets in downtown Rapid City.
The project would create a public gathering place in the center of Rapid City. It would have a large water feature — actually a couple of water features — and a grassy area surrounded by trees and shops and benches. In the winter, the water feature and grassy plaza would be turned into a skating rink.
These images do a better job of explaining this than I can. Please give them a look. (Click on the images below for a better view.)

- This is the more familiar view of the proposed Main Street Square project in downtown Rapid City. Note the first floor of the parking garage would be converted to shops, as would the side of the Sears Building facing the plaza.

- One part of the Main Street Square proposal in Rapid City is to host a farmer’s market and other events.
