So in march we would like to come back with the plan okay with the 15. 5 Million Dollars this is the number of playgrounds we think we could do in the first effort and the schedule for those.

Lush landscape and three open spaces including a wide Central Plaza and then the dog park on the right hand side. The streetscape was coordinated as overall plan from 22nd to 18th and reviewed as part of the project. You see the expansion of the plaza. Calms traffic midblock. Next slide is the dog park about 9,000 square feet. New lighting, seating, landscaping. I think a great complement to the existing useds at esprit park and briefly just looking at the experience from the park roughly in the...
