The design was selected to frame and enhance the aesthetic appeal and utility of the existing structure.

Key features include:

• A dry creek bed of recycled concrete will traverse the open space. This feature was selected to highlight the underground Cayuga Creek.
• Grasses were included to provide movement and texture in the windy conditions.
• Plants that can traverse the walls of the walkway and fences were selected to minimize the potential of graffiti on these open surfaces.
• Drought tolerant and low maintenance plants were selected to minimize upkeep.
