cut-and-cover tunnel between State Street and Arlington Street that
will allow for expansion of the Westridge School athletic field by either
relocating the tennis courts to the existing Caltrans maintenance station,
or relocating the Westridge faculty parking lot to the existing Caltrans
maintenance station. Additionally, the cut-and-cover tunnel will allow
for more area to relocate historic structures and a "historic park"
with an interpretive center and gazebo (Figure 20).

and protect the existing Canary Island Palms on Pasadena Avenue. Provide
an eight foot minimum parkway to provide adequate planting area for
the palms.

streetscape design elements on California Boulevard, for one block east
and west of the 710 corridor, including landscaping, ornamental street
lighting, paving, benches, tree grates, trash receptacles, signing,

- A low
seat wall is proposed for Singer Park which will provide a separation
from the surrounding area, without creating a visual barrier. Selected
openings could be constructed in the wall to allow access and area circulation.
Wall would be constructed of concrete block, faced with arroyo stone
and clinker brick. Ficus vines, or possibly a hedgerow, will be planted
adjacent to the seat wall to discourage graffiti.
