To hell with the "sitting" area. Plant some nice trees, butterfly bushes, and coneflowers.Add a pretty fountain with some water. This could at least attract some birds and butterflies.

3rd world moms' diaper changing stations;
derelicts' toilets; drug dealers marketplaces; etc.
Street furniture provides opportunity!
