I know this sounds really crazy, especially since people usually hate profits (the people not making them from what I can tell), but why not go one further and just build another block of tallish-thinnish buildings over this? New real estate on Dupont Circle would be worth a fortune. I'm not against more parks or anything, but you're talking about building a park across the street from a park (and there's another small piece of park in the triangle created by this space just to the north as seen on the road rendering). The sidewalks are also rather wide already. If the area is really the four 12 foot lanes I believe it is, you get a building 40 feet wide (need some more sidewalk) and easily 100-200 feet long while keeping the 2 one way lanes with parking. That would rather additively liven up the block.
