The process of including public comments and opinions is what me need more of. The 3 firms selected as finalists all had various visions and I understand there is an ongoing scorecard. Costs are not considered at this point. Only design. The LPA plan had it all, creative use of green space, a Robertson to San Vicente park in park overlay, a space for a dog… Read more »
