This plan was preceded by work done for the City in 2003 by the BNV Cor- <br />poration. The Capital Improvement Plan built on the recommendations of BNV who <br />suggested the following improvements: 1) address the park's "empty heart"; 2) make <br />the Baywalk a "pleasurable walk" by decreasing the scale and adding much needed <br />shade; 3) investigate the feasibility of creating a restaurant/retail space at the base <br />of the nonfunctioning "laser light tower"; 4) connect the amphitheater to Bayside <br />Marketplace, the Baywalk and the hotel to the south; 5) enhance the good features <br />like the Rock Garden and the lawns; 6) address the need for shade by planting shade <br />trees; 7) address the existing paths which "frustrate" the desire for direct functional <br />access, particularly between the downtown area and the bay; 8) improve the horticul- <br />ture; 9) address the perimeters of the park which tend to be "parched and dull" and/ <br />or "complicated and ugly"; and 10) provide informational and wayfinding signage, <br /> <br />Curtis + Rogers along with their sub consultants produced three documents for the <br />"Capital Improvements Plan," The first was an in-depth analysis of the park includ- <br />ing functional environmental and aesthetic issues, the second was a series of pro- <br />posed improvements which could be staged and the third was an estimate of cost. <br /> <br />The initial phase of new construction, which includes improvements to the Baywalk, <br />was completed in April 2010. <br />Curtis + Rogers Design Studio RFQ 12-04-04 22 <br />
