It really makes me upset that they'd even consider doing this. This isn't just a shopping mall that you tear down, it's a valuable part of history. And you're taking away the opportunity for future generations to experience it as it was in 1963. Leave it alone!
This space needs to remain unchanged for future generations, period.
A redesign is absolutely nuts! Dealey Plaza needs to look the same as it’s always looked. Preserve the current look!
Leave Dealey Plaza as it is! It is important to remember the assassination as it happened and to be able to step into history witnessing the live traffic on Elm as it brings to life this living memorial. Leave Elm Street open as it is and always has been and leave the grassy knoll and the Texas School Book Depository (The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza) and all other buildings and features of the plaza the way were and are now! The wheel isn't broken, so don't try to fix it!
A lot of people will be against changing this. I too oppose any change.
To change Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas would be a huge mistake.
Ford Theatre is still there, changing Dealey would be a crime
@@davidmudry5622 Yeah they kept Ford Theatre up and running like it was and it's a pretty cool place. I have been there. I want to go to Dailey Plaza if I ever go to Dallas. I love the JFK film by Oliver Stone and I am a JFK buff. It would kill me if they changed it.
Massive, massive, massive mistake. It would be like demolishing the Colosseum in Europe.
Leave the place alone.
The dude with a South Asian accent has no dog in the fight. True Dallasites want the site preserved. Nuff said.
Those of us who have made the drive from Houston to attend the anniversaries dont want anything changed.

@@davidmudry5622 I concur with your statement.
True Americans want it preserved.
I was literally just thinking the same thing, if it were a historical landmark that involved ghandi maybe he'd look at it differently 🙄
Don't change a thing. Dealey Plaza is necessary to remind new generations of people what happened that day. And we're no longer buying LBJ's Warren Commission report anymore.
Leave Dealey Plaza alone.
Americans really need to start saving their country from people seeking to dismantle it.
Very poor idea to change anything dealing withy a crime scene that has not been resolved! Leave Dealey Plaza as it stands as an area for investigators and public to understand what happened.
Roscoe White shot JFK from the manhole.
Lord save us from architects and city planners that come and go. They have no grasp of history or culture, only their own egos.
Well said!
To have this unbelievable window into the past gives us the opportunity to see fundamental challenges we face today and in the future.
Absolutely not. Some things are better left undone.
There will be hell to pay if they change anything about Dealey Plaza.

It would be a huge travesty of justice for the memory of JFK. End of discussion.
Utterly disgusting that they want to change this historical location. Please people, rise up against this, and make sure it never happens.
Money grab! Greed!
Please don't change it Dallas.
Really? I cannot believe anyone in their right mind would change this? Just leave it alone. Sometimes things don't need to change. This is one of them
Please leave Dealey Plaza as is! I visited it back in 2011 and it was like stepping back in time. I couldn’t believe it!
Leave it the way it is. Damb people always trying to erase history
I've never been there but I hope they don't do this. It is nice to see where things happened without being told it looks totally different than what it used to.
It's the scene of an...open murder case! KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF IT
This is an important place in history. This is where a great man was brutally murdered. Leave it the hell alone. It is a shrine, ffs.
Total insanity to change it!
I just visited this site and reading more about this. Hearing this makes me very very sad. This is a monumental site for American history. Why would this even be under consideration?
If anything is more important than money, its preserving the place where true democracy died. Not one structure in the entire plaza should be disturbed unless its in dire need of repair.
Figure out a way to shutoff Houston to Elm though - thats a great idea. No traffic in that area would allow the thousands of visitors each year to stand right in the spot where the motorcade came thru.
I'll never understand idiots that want to alter this hallowed ground.
Leave this site alone!!!
Ford Theatre is still there, changing Dealey would be a crime
Leave it as it is. It looks the same as it did during this historical event which makes is that much more special. Preserve history.
Terrible idea! Leave it as is!
Don't do it!
Leave it alone!
Just some proposal made some dude with dollar signs on his mind
Leave Dealey Plaza alone.
TRULY RIDICULOUS - wouldn't surprise me if it happens given all the other desecration since that day in '63
Leave it
Y’all want some public opinion? Well, here’s my public opinion: Leave Dealey Plaza ALONE. It is meaningful to see video and photographs from 11/1963 and then to go to the place and feel as though you’re just stepping right into those videos and photographs. Here I am seeing pretty much the same thing that JFK saw in the last couple of minutes of his life.
Don’t get me started about them tearing down Parkland Hospital. Actually I do understand that as it is it can’t be properly equipped to use the new medical technology. However the ER? Trauma room 1? Couldn’t they tear down the rest and just leave that small area as a historical monument?
Ugh! The next thing we know they’re going to want to tear down the Alamo…. I know they can’t because it is a designated historical monument. But I’ll bet they would if they could
I lived in Ft. Worth most of my life, but I moved out of state several years ago and as soon as I’m gone they have to start tearing things up - or down. Leave my memories and my childhood alone!!!
Why does it need to be changed?
Ford Theatre is still there, changing Dealey would be a crime
@@davidmudry5622 I agree 100%! Nobody in Dallas asked for this!
Reinvent what ???
nobody cares about Trinity Park.
Put the Hertz sign back on the roof of the book depository.
Exact the landscape, old traffic lights, signs.
The fact that they even wanna touch it just tells u all u need to know
The thought of changing anything in Dealey Plaza is an abomination to history & to the memory of that event.. The Reason that thousands of people go there is Because it is for the most part unchanged.. You should be ashamed & fired for even thinking of doing this.
I hope the architects of Dallas consider that Dealey Plaza no longer belongs to the city alone, but the whole country. If it’s so inconvenient then make the roads bypass it but don’t change it, it’s American history
Leave it as is
The one and only thing that needs done with the plaza is pruning the trees, and repairing the damage that tourists have done to the ground in areas all over the plaza. They are in desperate need of attention because they're overgrown and the city park needs to prune them all. The small trees on each side of the pergola, next to where Zapruder stood and then on the opposite end need pruning or replaced. The area directly front of the concrete block Zapruder stood on, and part of the steps is ruined from people trodding on it to the point that there's a massive hole between the concrete steps and the ground. Compared to what the plaza used to look like, it looks like a pig sty. It was always well groomed until after the 50th anniversary. It's a darned shame that the city has allowed to get thaisway.
i have mixed feelings for this reinvention project
It should never be touched or an attempt made to "modernise" it in anway. It looks pretty much exactly how it did in 1963 and thats what people want to see and experience when the visit. Turning the book depository into a museum is enough.
If the area is preserved perfectly then fine. But if there are changes like removing certain parts or buildings then absolutely not
.May I speak for thousands of researchers.? Leave It Alone.. This is akin to making Fords Theater into a shopping mall .
Thanks Indian American man for telling all of United states citizens how to remember this event, we really need and value his opinion😅
Leave it as it is.don't wreck it with jazzing it up. People want to walk around and visit the book depository. They want to see it like it is.
Keep it the same. The Baby Boomers need to make a stance on this. It already hard to bring history to the millenials.
Nauseating.
Of course they wanna change it. He’s an Indian
Americans really need to start saving their country from people seeking to dismantle it.
Such a stupid proposal isn’t this considered a Historical Landmark? I have a proposal LEAVE IT ALONE. Don’t fix what isn’t broken.
It's an outdoor museum
i've been to Dealey Plaza and saw JFK's ghost
The government official that supports the change😊😊😊😊
Bring it up to the times. A liquor store and gas station would be appropriate?
Leave it alone.
Don't change anything, leave it as is because our new generations to come will want to experience it just like it's right now, just like it happened on that dark Day! God bless!
Dallas needs infrastructure renovation more than this.
I don't know Dallas, but I think everyone who lives in a place with relatively undisturbed contexts and an existing link to another epoch, now, more than ever, will appreciate that we can find alternative routes that preserve these sites - be they historical landmarks or areas of natural conservation significance.
The opportunities to conserve, which essentially means "leaving in peace", such landmarks and areas are extraordinarily rare in these times.
Orwellian language: reinvent.
Absolutely not. You kidding me? What and put a frozen yogurt joint there? No way!
No.
THIS WOULD BE A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE!!!
Ifyoumakechangestakesawayfromtruth
The only thing that’s needed in that space is to trim the trees back to the height of November 22, 1963.
I completly agree with you.
The genius who proposed this made an idiotic thought
Cantbecauseitsalandmark
An architecture critic? History>architecture. What a scam….
Destroy the rest of the evidence.
Preserve it for future generations . They will appreciate it later.
Dallas makes a lot of money from tourists.
I have a idea also change the day the murder took place. It needs to be moved in the spring. The summer is way too hot, and in the fall the temperature can get way low and rainy in Texas. LOL 😆😆😆😆
Better yet we could Disassemble the place and move it to another states to help their tax base.
I love thinking outside the Box. 🎁
too* their*
Don’t do it ✝️🛐🙏🏽
LEAVE IT ALONE. ITS HISTORY.
Absolutely not.
Arun Agrawal. Unbelievable.
Dallas Parks Department officials would be wise to see to it that all of the once lush, green grass of Dealey Plaza be returned to its original condition. Additionally, the smell of urine within the actual area of the Elm Street Underpass is so strong as to make that particular area inaccessible to pedestrians.
Closing the road to traffic does not change history.
Ridiculous idea
More unnecessary traffic in downtown
Not no but hell no!!!
Im just going to say it.. of course the council member proposing to remodel it can't even speak fluent English. To say it as nicely and I specifically as I can
Why did JFK fly from Fort Worth to Dallas ,it seems like a short distance
They needed a photo op
you can not trewite histiorynot one line of it ftrist doct9r doctir who!
but where are republican going to look for jfk to come back at?
JFK was a democrat, the user name that you go by fits you very well by the way. You democrats cant seen to stop molesting children so it makes sence that your democrat parents did it to you. Dont worry your secret is safe with me.
Same place where Hillary and Biden ACTUALLY won
Well that's incoherent
@@arthurbrown4984 😂😂😂
Here let me help you, put the crack pipe down and back away from the cell phone.
Build a Holiday Inn on Dealy Plaza. Build a Wal-Mart there
Redesign? What about design a community for the homeless down there?
Homeless people don't deserve any investment or community because they are abject failures and leeches of society who contribute nothing.
How about build some bathrooms for the visitors who come to see history in person. Last time I went I had to pay to use the restroom. The place has turned into a cash cow for someone.
What’s the point of keeping the building? Let it go.
The entire area is a national historic landmark. Nothing can be demolished. What would be the point of demolishing a 100 year old building?
I had the same thought about your house. Let it go it is just a dam building. Nothing important happens there.
When they remake the Wizzard of Oz you should try out got the scarecrow part. You were made for the role.
@@googleuser6201 Hush. Let the adults talk.

I support the new project with the memorial pools.
Ford Theatre is still there, changing Dealey would be a crime
Gotta cover up that manhole and the door leading to behind the grassy knoll before people have had enough and demand the truth.

PS. Take that to heart.
