Several modifications will be made to achieve these objectives. 

They are as follows:

• The pond will be drained and cleaned to help improve the water quality.
• The large fish have been moved to the lower pond during construction.  They will be returned when the water is raised.
• The existing overgrown vegetation will be removed or thinned to increase visibility and usability of the site.
• A professional lighting plan has been completed for the site and will be installed in future phases of construction.
• A small portion of the southeast corner of the pond will be filled to increase the usable space in the park.
• A new wall will be constructed to replace the sloping exposed aggregate edge.
• Lookouts will be constructed to provide meeting and viewing opportunities in the park.
• A new rectangular pool will be constructed under the angular bridge to improve the waterfall at this location.
• The stream area will be filled to provide access from the existing island to the Library lawn and this will then create a natural amphitheatre facing the Library.  The soil conditions at this lawn will also be improved.
• The lower pond will be slightly reduced in size, with an improved waterfall and circulation system.
• The entrance off of First Avenue will be modified to clearly define the lanes.  Park signage will also be installed at this entrance.
