This approach to redevelopment of the waterfront incorporates the following key elements:

• A vehicular bridge linking Washington Street to the City property.

• Discontinuation of River Street at Henry Law Avenue.

• Continuation of the Riverwalk from Henry Law Avenue to Maglaras Park.

• Construction of a turning basin/docking area at the point of land opposite the existing marina (George's) with formalized walkways and points of interest.

• A restaurant/boutique shop adjacent to and facing the above mentioned "Dover Wharf".

• A mixed use (shops, offices, apartments) row of structures set back from the river and facing the Riverwalk and green space.

• A parking garage built into the hillside to the southeast of a vehicular and pedestrian bridge crossing.

• A defined amphitheater with outdoor stage (possibly covered by a tent-like canopy in the summer concert season) and terraced seating arrangement on the hillside to the east of the above mentioned wharf.

• Reuse of the former County Jail site as a conference center.

• Construction of a small hotel/inn on the slope between the former jail site and the proposed parkway and overlooking the wharf area.

• Development of a small cluster of upscale housing above the parking garage, overlooking the waterfront area, and accessed via Paul Street.

Generally, this concept provides for and requires an increased amount of vehicular access to the site.  Development and formalized green space along the river is intended to bring more people and more commerce to the City-owned land.  A redefined river's edge in the wharf area  increases boat traffic capacity and creates a focal point for community gatherings and for enticement of tourism to the area.  On-street parking along the proposed parkway-type access road provides access for customers of shops, restaurants and offices.  Larger, grassed parking areas adjacent to the amphitheater provide for overflow use for special events or for day-trip boaters with vehicles and trailers.  A parking garage would provide for long-term parking for employees working on either side of the river and for residents of adjacent hilltop townhouses.

As with Concept 1, this concepts also recommends reuse of the former County Jail.  Due to its hilltop location, this historic building provides an excellent focal point with visibility of the river and downtown.  The location of a modestly sized hotel/inn adjacent to a conference center provides for a year-round attraction for business and civic groups to utilize the services offered and patronize the local shops along the riverfront and downtown via pedestrian walkways and bridges. Expansive amounts of green space through the project area provide for a park-like atmosphere and transitions to the recreational uses in Maglaras and Henry Law Parks
