The Flagpole Plaza originally included a large grass area used as a public gathering space. However, shortly after the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, the area was repurposed for outdoor dining. During this time, the grass was removed and replaced with decomposed granite to better accommodate dining needs. The City is now in the process of renovating this space to restore the public gathering area, retain opportunities for continued outdoor dining, improve landscaping, and add new lighting, while maintaining strong connections between the flagpole, the existing fountain, and the plaza.
