The
Virginia Ave Park Expansion Plan that was approved by the
City Council, not six months ago, has been changed.
The
pool, which the PNA Board did not support, has been eliminated.
A yet to be defined water fountain type feature will be built
in its stead.
The
"pavilion" that was to be the next incarnation of
the PAL gym will see modification. Originally seen as a simple
shade area, the pavilion had grown to accommodate food vendors
and performances. Structural problems and cost were cited
as reasons for the redesign. A new plan for the feature was
not yet prepared. The PNA Board objected to the grand design
of the pavilion.
Left
untouched was the large amount of greenspace devoted to the
Farmer's Market. This aspect of the market is still of concern
to the PNA.
The
Virginia Ave Park Advisory Board is having problems with the
proposed mural and reports state that meetings with the artists
will ensue.
The
proposed mural for Virginia Ave Park that will be seen
form Pico Blvd.
