This plan was preceded by work done for the City in 2003 by the BNV Cor- ® poration. The Capital Improvement Plan built on the recommendations of BNV who ® suggested the following improvements: 1) address the park's "empty heart"; 2) make the Baywalk a "pleasurable walk" by decreasing the scale and adding much needed shade; 3) investigate the feasibility of creating a restaurant/retail space at the base ® of the nonfunctioning "laser light tower"; 4) connect the amphitheater to Bayside ® Marketplace, the Baywalk and the hotel to the south; 5) enhance the good features like the Rock Garden and the lawns; 6) address the need for shade by planting shade ® . trees; 7) address the existing paths which "frustrate" the desire for direct functional (10 access, particularly between the downtown area and the bay; 8) improve the horticul- 0 ture; 9) address the perimeters of the park which tend to be "parched and dull" and/ or "complicated and ugly"; and 10) provide informational and wayfinding signage. ® Curtis + Rogers along with their sub consultants produced three documents for the ® "Capital Improvements Plan." The first was an in-depth analysis of the park includ- ing functional environmental and aesthetic issues, the second was a series of pro- ® posed improvements which could be staged and the third was an estimate of cost. 9 The initial phase of new construction, which includes improvements to the Baywalk, 60 was completed in April 2010. 0 Curtis ± Rogers Design Studio RFQ 12-04-02 15
