Main Library Plaza Improvements
Description
A certificate of appropriateness for major alterations limited to the 1984 modernist library plaza — restoration of original pavers and concrete, new landscaping and lighting, an ADA ramp, rebuilt stairs, and a much shallower main pool for safety and events. Approved with staff conditions plus a tree-grate condition.
Impact summary
The long-closed plaza reopens with restored historic materials, better lighting and accessibility, and a safer shallow water feature for public events.
