Unless plans have changed, the intent is to fill in the space between those three foot sidewalks and the road with pavers (no more useless strips of grass), so when finished the sidewalks will actually be ...

This was where they were previously planning that 5(ish) story office building situated at the end of the parking garage. It was a cute building but I'm way more excited about a 20 story boutique hotel.

There's a proposed rezoning for Gung Ho (z189-333). I'm not sure how to search for zoning requests but I wonder what's changing.
It's a cool space but their business has fallen off bigtime and they've simplified their menu, in my opinion to the point of mediocrity.
